I got my first tattoo tonight with a friend and I am still living at home. I knew this was going to be a choice I was going to make in my life and about a month and a half ago I prepared my parents that this was going to be a choice I was going to make. And I wasn't sure when just knew it was what I wanted and I was going to do it. I texted my parents as a heads up that I was coming home with my first tattoo. When I got home my dad yelled at me that I was sneaky and lied to them and never let them prepare for this choice I was making. My dad has never yelled at me. One time I called him sobbing thinking I was a horrible person and he asked me if I had burnt down a building. He said that was his bar for terrible people. But the tune changed so fast tonight and I was so startled. And it hurt a lot. And I was really excited. So I guess I needed to vent, and cry, and be excited. And this what this space is for. If in Utah give recommendations of artists and shops around town that you think would be good for a person who is sensitive to tattooing but wants to get them anyways. Thanks for reading.
