So I got my first tattoo a 2 weeks ago. I have a phobia of needles and was very worried about getting one done, but there was this design I saw in a shop near me and really loved it as im into this kind of stuff.

It took 4 hours and I was really pleased with it.

The pain was so bearable, I wouldn't even class it as a pain it was just more of a weird hot annoying feeling. But now im planning on getting my other whole arm done as I really want a sleeve. I went back to the tattoo shop a week after as they wanted to check up it was healing fine which is was. I spoke to them and said I was interested in having another one but want a full sleeve done. They showed me some designs and there was this one I was in love with straight away. I wont obviously get the same design but I will get something like it.

I just want to know other peoples thoughts on this one as obviously it will be on me for life.

If I do I will start it in January just after Christmas as its obviously going to be expensive. I will update this and let people know if I do or don't. If I do i will update this with pictures of each stage of the tattoo.
