Dandelions and Butterflies

I always wanted to get a tattoo but never wanted to get a tattoo if that makes any sense. First, because I was always afraid it was going to hurt like hell. Second, because I didn't want to ink up my body. Third, because I never knew what to get. Also tattoos aren't cheap. The Bubba's cousin has his whole arm done and his girlfriend also. Her tattoos look great and she referred us to the gentleman working on my side in the above picture. He has his own little studio in his house. Everything was super clean and he was very professional when we went to meet with him. His pricing is good because he doesn't have to pay rent at some tattoo shop. 

Before I got mine, the Bubba got  his chest piece done. I figured if I liked it then I would "think" about getting one. I ended up loving the Bubba's tattoo and set up an appointment to get my tattoo done 2 weeks later. I ended up going with two of my girlfriends. The day of the appointment I had worked at both my jobs so I had barely any sleep if at all and I also hadn't ate. Probably not the best thing but oh well, too late to turn back now. When I got there I was nervous because come on, tattoos are permanent. So I was close to just saying screw it, I don't want to do this anymore. But I sat on that chair like a champ and got inked. I'm not going to lie, I almost passed out within the first 15 minutes of getting it done. Not because it hurt but because the lack of food, sleep, energy and overall excitement. I ended up eating a little bit and I felt a lot better. 

Getting the actual tattoo didn't really hurt. People were telling me that the side (ribcage) is the most sensitive area therefore, the worst place to get a tattoo because it will hurt like hell. It honestly felt more like annoying pain than actual ouch it hurts, help me pain. I actually now want to do my other side.Watch me get all tatted up ha!

Now on to what I got. I chose to get a dandelion and a butterfly on my ribcage area. 

why?

The dandelion represents my wish. I wished for a beautiful and healthy baby girl. The Butterfly, my daughter. When I think of my daughter I think of pretty butterflies and vice versa. Why on the ribcage?

Have you ever heard of how Eve was made from Adam's rib??

Same concept.

Do I love the tattoo?

Of course. 

Do I want more?

Definitely.

Gangsta Bitches! 

haha!
