I wanted to slowly tick off some of the items I've listed in my Bucket List so, I have finally decided to get inked. Though, I was still hesitant because of the idea that I might not be able handle the pain. I shared this to my friend and she suggested that I should get a small tattoo first, in that way I'll be able to know if it's really painful or not. And since I'm an obedient friend, I followed her tip and became brave enough to face the needle. HAHAHA
I chose a small-sized lotus flower design for my first tattoo. I've read that this flower is a lucky symbol admired for its resilience and beauty and I wanted to believe that I have these qualities. I wanted to at least get reminded that like the lotuses that grows in swamp areas, it emerges beautifully. That despite all the unpleasant things I've encountered, there is still something beautiful that is going happen.
Right now, I'm looking for another design for my second tattoo. I saw plenty of beautiful designs however, I just cant decide yet. Hopefully, I can make up my mind soon and get another appointment with my tattoo artist. :)
