Getting Inked: My Tattoo Journey

Tattoos have always fascinated me. The artistry, the symbolism, and the ability to carry a piece of meaningful artwork on one's body have always intrigued me. So, it was only natural for me to embark on my own tattoo journey, exploring the pain, the beauty, and the stories behind each inked creation on my skin.

2.1 First Tattoos: 11 11 and Circles

March of this year marked the beginning of my tattoo journey. I was in Florida when I decided to take the plunge and get my first two tattoos. The first one holds a special place in my heart as it represents a cherished memory from my childhood – 11 11. Growing up, my father and I would always acknowledge 11:11, seeing it as a sign of positivity and protection. The pain scale for this tattoo was relatively low, around a three out of ten, as it consisted of simple lines on a bony area.

The second tattoo I got in Florida was the circles. Being the youngest of five siblings, I wanted to commemorate my place in the family with this simple yet significant symbol. Each sibling has a corresponding number of circles, representing their birth order. My parents also have the tattoo, but with five dots instead. This matching family tattoo holds immense sentimental value for me.

2.2 Pinky Promise and Teddy Bear

Continuing my tattooing journey, I ventured to New York, where I added two more tattoos to my collection. The first one, a pinky promise, evokes sweet memories of my sister and me. Our childhood was filled with pinky promises and secret counting rituals, reinforcing the bond we shared. The pain scale for this tattoo was minimal, around a four out of ten, considering the lack of flesh in the area.

The next tattoo was a tribute to my beloved baby blanket, adorned with teddy bears. This blanket has been my comfort and source of security since infancy. To commemorate its significance, I chose to ink a teddy bear on my arm. This tattoo carries immense sentimental value, and its petite size adds to its charm. However, the pain scale for this one reached an eight out of ten, as the sensation felt intense on the muscle.

2.3 Little Sunshine and Matching Seven

New York also witnessed the addition of two more tattoos to my growing collection. The first one, a tiny sunshine, symbolizes the lullaby my father used to sing to me – "You Are My Sunshine." The connection to my childhood and the warmth it brings make this tattoo truly special. The pain scale for this one is barely noticeable, around a two out of ten.

Another matching tattoo, the number seven, was added to my arm. With seven members in my family, including my parents, this simple numerical representation captures the significance of our bond. The pain scale for this tattoo was minimal, similar to the previous ones.

2.4 Camera, Create, and Sandra

The latest additions to my tattoo journey were done recently. A camera tattoo, inspired by my love for YouTube and the creative community it has brought into my life, symbolizes the joy and passion I find in creating content. The pain scale for this tattoo was relatively low, around a three out of ten.

Another meaningful tattoo is the word "create" etched delicately on my finger. As a YouTuber, creation is an integral part of my life, and this tattoo serves as a constant reminder of my purpose. However, the pain scale for this one skyrocketed to a ten out of ten. The delicate area on my finger made the process considerably more intense.

3. Pain Scale and Meaning

Throughout my tattoo journey, I have experienced a range of pain intensities. The pain scale varied from minimal discomfort to more intense sensations. However, each tattoo holds significant meaning and sentimental value, making the temporary discomfort worthwhile. The pain experienced during the tattooing process is subjective and depends on individual pain tolerance and the specific area being inked.

4. Conclusion

My tattoo journey has been a personal and profound experience. Each tattoo tells a story, marking significant moments, memories, and relationships in my life. From the simple lines of 11 11 to the intricate details of a camera, each tattoo holds a special place in my heart. Despite the varying pain levels, the joy and meaning they bring far outweigh any temporary discomfort. As I continue to expand my collection, I look forward to exploring new designs and adding more chapters to my tattoo journey.
