At the start of August I got my first tattoo done and I went for a simple floral design on my ribs.
When I decided I wanted to get inked I created a Pinterest Board pinning all the tattoos and illustrations I liked the look of. I showed a few images to my tattoo artist and he designed this.
I did sit on the idea of what I wanted done for a few months just because I am a little bit indecisive and I wanted to be sure because "it's going to be on you for the rest of your life" and all that jazz I've been told 100 x over.
I can't say this tattoo has some meaningful reason behind it but I am really happy with how it turned out. I wanted something quite hidden which is why I went for my ribs but I think it will look quite cute when I get it out on holiday. I went for my left side after changing my mind so many times on what would be 'the best side' to get it done on.
I went to Royal Ink in Leamington Spa and got this done by Thomas Cardiff and I cannot recommend him enough.
I think it still needs to heal properly but I thought I would upload it on here anyway. Aftercare wise I haven't soaked it in the bath or been swimming yet. I've also been moisturising with Vaseline Aloe Sooth or Bepanthen Baby Moisturiser every time I come out of the shower.
Thank you for reading.
