Hey Guys!
I decided to do something a little different to start off summer vacation.
I got a tattoo!
This was something I was planning on doing for my birthday in September but, there was an interesting change to my plans... My mother wanted to go with me and get one as well!
Over the past two years, I had been mentioning/telling my mother that I wanted a tattoo and that I was going to get one for my 20th birthday. She would say that if I was going to get one then it would need to be something unique and meaningful. Nothing "trendy" or in the moment.
This really helped me pick out the design I wanted on my skin forever. I researched different symbols and designs and their meanings.
To make a long drawn out story short, my talking about wanting to get a tattoo made my mother realize that she actually wanted one too. She decided that once I moved back home we would get one together.*
My mother got a crown on her left wrist. She considers herself royalty. It looked like this:
I, on the other hand, got a symbol that meant "under control". I placed it on my left forearm. To me, it meant that I would be the one in control of what happens in my life. It looked like this:
We went to the shop Golden Rule Tattoo, we found that they would do our tattoos for a very reasonable price and the atmosphere was super friendly, relaxed but professional. You can click on their name and check them out! They really made my first tattoo experience super enjoyable and gave great instructions on caring for the tattoo afterward.
The healing process took about 2 weeks but, it was easy and low maintenance. Just washing off the tattoo with dial soap (the pump not the bar) and applying non-scented lotion to the tattoo everyday.
Here are the finished products:
This one is mine
And this my mother's
So far we've had our tattoos for about 3 months and we love the results!
Side note****
My mother and I do basically everything together.
Hope you guys enjoyed this experience!!
