FUCK! Well ok, first off let me just say, I was stupid and sixteen haha. BUT! I wear it like a badge.
When I was sixteen, my best friend Bacchus got a tattoo gun and kit from her old man who used to tattoo back in the day. Not really having taken lessons, she kind of just dove into it, using friends who were willing, as practice. I really wanted a tattoo, and thought a free tattoo was just the sickest thing ever. Not to mention I was always down to lay some skin out for my bestie to practice on.
THE LAYOUT:
One evening, we set out to buy some new needles for her gun. Once we got back into the car and on the road, we begin talking about our band (that never really ever practiced or played due to sketchy band mates). We called ourselves 'The Trash Queens" and we were gonna be this punk band. We being talking about a logo for the band and I thought it would be super rad to get that tattoo'd. So out she pulls a little brown paper bag and with a bic pen she begins doodling out a little skeleton with a crown,
"Make sure it's flippin off the viewers!" I said. "And give it the tail of a ghost!"
The doodle looked fucking sick on the bag and I just couldn't wait to get this shit done, so on we headed to a friend's house where tons of hoodlums crowded in the kitchen and living room to see what was going down, mostly they were playing guitar hero. Bacchus pulled out three fold out chairs and I laid on them exposing my naked hip.
It hurt. LIKE HELL. But I bit my lip and bared the pain for my bestie so she could do the best she could.
A few hours and plenty of cigarettes and weed seshes later... I had a brand new tattoo.
When my dad found out, he called it a prison tat haha.
Long story short, its a bad tattoo, and yeah sometimes I get shit for it but on the other hand it reminds me of that day and we laugh about it now. She's given up tattooing, and has accepted it was a phase and it isn't for everyone. She has even agreed that I should most definitely get it covered up, which will happen very soon. I did grow very fond of it though, and the more shit I got for it, the more I loved it...
But it's gotta go hahaha
p.s I STILL LOVE YOU BACCHUS, MY BEST BITCH! <3
