i think i have like more than 15 but less than 20 and im getting another in a month!!
iāve done handpoke ones on myself about 5 times and find handsome is less bothersome than machine but i have a Very High Pain Tolerance (none of my tattoos particularly hurt to get) (even the ones on my ribs)
i tend to be a very impulsive person and i also donāt regret things so if i think about wanting something for longer than a few minutes i would get a tattoo of it. i love stupid tattoos also (i have the stussy s done by myself lmao)
i think once you have one you see how incredible it is and how hot it is and just want to get more (thatās the case for everyone iāve talked to)

I have 6, all fine linework except for a trad style convo heart on my upper thigh. I love hand poke from professionals - itās super intimate and a lot of the artists I followed when I lived in Austin almost exclusively did hand poke work instead of machine. they are not blown out and have not faded :-) I think long and hard about placement, but I just get stuff I want from artists I love. Not everything has to have A Deep Meaning. My faves are a pear on my right forearm (stranger: why the pear? me: I love pears), āformā on the back of my left arm, and the lightbulb eye from Picassoās Guernica above the inside of my right elbow. tattoos are sexy as hell, and I plan to keep collecting them for the rest of my life. The pain to me usually feels like someone scratching a sunburn - worst was my finger since itās close to bone and the convo heart since the artist went IN! it can be really bad or very tolerable, but I have genuinely enjoyed talking to all of the artists who have given me their work and just focus on the overall experience āØ the more shading/color, the more itās gonna hurt and the more intensive the healing process

i think i have 9 at this point?
honestly babe you only get one body during your time on earth so you might as well do what you want with it. have a favorite band? get a symbol of them put on your body forever. a favorite painting? steal that shit and put it on your arm. none of mine have very deep meaning but thatās okay because i like them. i just think they look neat! thatās how you decide, just take up all the space on your skin with shit you think looks cool.
the pain depends on the part of the body; i think my most painful was my thigh and my least painful was probably the back of my calf. also color tats hurt a bit more than black so be conscious of that.
and i would definitely get another. theyāre absolutely addicting.

sometimes i donāt read for MONTHS. soemtiems (right now) i can read 2 novels in a day (but i am a fast reader so donāt use this as a metric). itās ok to take it slow and read for 5 minutes a day. even if itās not a book. like a nice article or something. get the gears turning again.
also my roommate LOVES audiobooks sheās a freak about them so that could be a nice way to read if you tend to get distracted.
but yeah i think the biggest thing is do not pressure yourself to do more than you can because it will become a chore and reading shouldnāt feel like a chore. maybe read once a week. who knows schedule it around your life
