I've been thinking about doing a tattoo for a very long time now. The reason why it took me so many years is as a person you evolve multiple times. Your mindset changes every single month or year due to the books you read and the people you meet and so on.
Also, i donate blood from time to time. I won't be able to donate when i get a tattoo due to the chemical that enters your blood but you can start donating again after 6 months they say. But i haven't checked with the hospital if it's true the info i get most from my readings.
Few weeks before i get the tattoo i read a lot about how to clean and take care of the new tattoo. Basically, you just need to eat clean such as eat Red meat fully cooked of course no salt no sugar it says that sugar will reduce the time for the wound to heal. The food sounds like a weight loss diet if you ask me hehe.
That day at work i called the tattooist named Ned Losario i told him that the next day is my day off and due to my insomnia i will wake up really late if i wait till tomorrow so we made a deal he said he can do it after i finish work at 1.30am finally we decided its the perfect time for us to do it at 2 am.
Finally, i finish my work and i went straight to my house i showered cold water because from what i read its good for the body to be clean but don't use soap because it will dry out the skin and cold water is to close the pores on the body. I don't know i just do what i read. Then i went to Ned's house.
My friend Lance arrive 20minutes after i arrive he brought beers for us such a cool guy. They told me not to drink but of course, i don't listen i just drink one can.
After Ned stick the design on my back let it dry for few minutes and then we both sit on the chair and he starts tattooing its hard to describe the pain at first it was fine you feel like a needle cutting your flesh slowly for some weird reason it feels good. If you have seen the series House he said in one episode that cutting yourself make the feel-good hormone to come out that's why people who are depressed like to cut their arm in a straight line.
I'm no doctor but the pain does feel good. The longer the time went the more painful it is you will start to sweat and try to not think about the pain. The most painful part is when the needle tattoed the area of your bones i jerk once Ned told me to relax the bone area are the most painful. The more he did it the more i get used to it. So i started playing online games on my phone it's a shooting game usually i get the top 10 but while people are cutting your flesh like that damn you won't win any battles haha.
Finally, the tattoo is done and it looked amazing. Ned ask me why do you choose this symbol what does it means? I said it's an international symbol for atheism society who don't believe in the existence of gods and masters. We are our own masters. Usually, people will argue with me when i said that but most people i meet these days they kinda agree or agree with me fully. His answer is 50/50 he doesn't know if God exists or not hard to say he said.
Then he covers the tattoo with plastic and told me to take it off when im home and shower when im ready he even put vaseline before he covered the tattoo.
Then me and Lance say our goodbyes and thank you and left. Me and Lance went our separate ways. When i arrive home i look at the tattoo full of blood but it's drying slowly it looks beautiful to me for some reason.
Took out the cover and went to shower cold water again.

Dreams are the only time when you're away from the harsh reality of life. The unfairness and the ugliness of life. Dream is the only time your mind is free to explore what you always desire. A special place just for you and you only. No one else can touch it. No one else can smell it. It's almost heaven. ragnarhewins90
