It's been years since I have a thought of getting a tattoo.
I was struggling before going for it. Why? Because I am afraid, afraid of regretting sooner or later.
But, in the end, I've dealt with it.
(Rock hand) YOLO man, I am not going to give a fuck about anything.
For me, it is a milestone. A proof that I had gone through my young.
A SIGN OF YOUTH.
Alright, before I share my experience about that, here are some examples which I used as reference.
One of them might be yours perhaps? :P

Alright, here we go.
Basically, this is my 20th birthday present from my
bestie, Carmen Lim Kar Wen #siaopoinpenang
 |
Peeps, say hi to BITCH ;)
|
I requested this from her actually. Because SOMETHING SPECIAL MUST BE GIVEN BY SOMEONE SPECIAL.
Why not boyfriend? Because boyfriend might break up one day, untrustable.
I don't wish that this tattoo will make me regret FOREVER just because it is a gift from my 'EX'. LOL
My birthday was on
17th of February. So do you know how late my BELATED birthday present was?
Haha
I got no choice, my boss is just having her semester break starting from the end of April.
Two days after her birthday (
21st May 2015), we rock and roll.

I decided to go to Mandala Tattoo & Piercing, which is located at Komtar Walk, Penang.
Erm, I
did consider Ink Tattoo before that,
however in the end, I chose Mandala, and I don't know why.
heh

The procedure
- First, the person who in charge your tattoo will ask what do you going to put?
- Show them your design or photo if you have it. (Provide as much information as well, for example: the size, the length and blablabla..)
- Then, he will print and apply the 'demo' on your part of your body (where you wanted to put on your tattoo).
- Lastly, lay on the 'operating table' and wait for the moment that the needles pricked on your lovely smooth skin.
Before this, you're gonna ask " Will pain or not?" "REALLY like ants biting?" If this is your first time.
Most of my friend, even the tattoo Sifu told me that it is just like ants biting, but 辉哥在《三个好人》里的一句台词出现在我脑海：什么蚂蚁咬 明明就是给lorry "zham kuih'（碾过）POKER FACE again pls.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AND I WAS 'SIBEH' TENTION WHILE WAITING. lol
Furthermore, the affliction of getting a tattoo on the rib is having 4 STARS vote.

| While waiting.. |
BUT. Hell ya, I enjoyed it (puke face)
 |
| Sifu starts from back to front. |
Honestly, the whole process finished in LESS THAN 15 minutes.
Siao Po and I were like SERIOUSLY?
Unfortunately, YES zzzzz
It was too fast sia -.-
 |
| The position of my tattoo |
The price is about RM 150- RM 180
Tattooing is not as painful as I imagined. Somehow I feel that the ants bite is even more painful than this.
For your information, normally having a small tattoo like mine won't make you feel uneasy anyways.
Basically, from what my tattoo Sifu Ray told me, let's say your tattooing process took up like 3 hours or more, that is the time when you feel suffering.
Make sure to protect yourself from preventing from Sun Burn, Swimming and also Sauna within TWO WEEKS after you tattooed.
