Tattoo magick

I’ve decided to keep my shopping hauls from the weekend separate to this ‘part 2’ of my birthday weekend (I really did milk it and make it last the whoooole weekend… and I still have a few pics to take) so in the meantime here is a little glance of where I spent my monday afternoon ♥

This is Hepcat tattoo studio in Glasgow. They specialise in rockabilly and pin up girls, and the place is all done up like a 60’s diner inside. Looked absolutely amazing! Awfy cosy, I felt right at home 🙂

My tattoos were a part of my 21st pressie from David, so he came along with me when I got them done (and stroked the back of my neck when I started getting a bit squirmy – thanks David) I have never had a tattoo on my leg before, and for some reason it defo wasnt as sore as my chest or arm. Maybe cause I have fat ankles? 🙂 who knows! Took about an hour to do both and during this time I consumed a can of red bull and a bottle of pepsi (not to mention the bottle of coke I had before I went in)

I NEVER normally consume this amount of sugary drinks, not even in a week. But after my last nearly-fainted-and-was-super-embarassed-in-the-studio-infront-of-everyone palava, sugar is the best thing to calm my nerves. And here’s the finished result…

Okay, so not the greatest of pictures but I should be able to get better ones once they’ve healed. If you read my tattoo post a while back, you’ll know I was deliberating about the diamond idea for quite a while. The anchor… well that kinda came out of nowhere but I had a really nice image I wanted to use and it goes along well with the rest of my ink 🙂 I like the idea of symbolising this new phase of my life with an anchor and a diamond. New job, time to move out, going travelling… certainly a time of strength and establishing strong foundations, and keeping a hold of the people I have around me who are full of love, inspiration and honesty (I’ve had my fair share of extremely shitty/draining people in my life so far, but haven’t we all)

I know lots of people have very varying views on tattoos – it’s an extremely debatable subject. I’m not here to defend/justify myself until the cows come home, so if you don’t like what you see then personally I wouldn’t be offended by that. Do you have any tattoos? Do you think its only certain kind of people that get tattoos, and if so, why? I’ve heard that one alot! As always, thanks for reading and I love the supportive comments as much as the constructive critisism 🙂
