what was it like getting your first tattoo?
*This isn’t me in the pic* I’ve been contemplating getting a tattoo for about 2 years now. I want a fine line piece on my foot (ik, the foot is a crazy starting place for a first tat 😭) All I hear is my mom saying “You don’t put a bumper sticker on a Bentley.” Which is true but I feel like
