I still remember the look on my mom's face when I came home with my first 3 tattoos on the same day

So I'm planning to do a full length post on each individual tattoo i have and what drove me to get them. {with pictures} But for now I wanted to show you guys what i looked like before i had any tattoos, VS what i look like now with 20 of them. Kinda short and simple but I'm new to blogging and still trying to get the hang of it. Thanks for taking the time to check me out!

The first time the needle hit my skin i was surprised more than anything else. I was 15 and now I can remember thinking to myself "This is going to be the most painful thing in the world", but honestly not to sound like everyone else these days.. it really was a pleasant surprise when it began. I know that sounds weird right but I had always been told it would feel like "a stabbing or ten thousand bee stings". I guess that was my family's way of trying to ensure I wouldn't get any LOL dramatic much? And so it began, my love for expressing myself through art on my body and by telling my story with ink.

^This was 15 year old me without a single tattoo, although in this picture my ears were already stretched to 5/8's.

^Here's a semi recent picture of me showing most of my tattoos :)

Thanks for looking. Upvote, comment, follow, i love new friends! :)
