The Stages of Wanting a New Tattoo

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

Whether you’re a tattoo virgin or you’ve been inked for a while, the urge to get a tattoo is too much too ignore! 

But such a permanent decision comes with a roller coaster of emotions!

Restlessness:

You’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for forever. You finally made the appointment, but now you have to wait. Ugh.

Excitement: 

THIS IS IT. You’re here, you’re ready to go. There’s no turning back.

Fear: 

What if it hurts? What if it looks bad? Will someone hold my hand?

Confidence: 

You got this. The pain isn’t that bad and you’re taking it like a champ. In fact, you’re already planning your next one.

Joy: 

IT’S ALL DONE! And it’s even better than you imagined. Now you can’t wait to show off your new ink and feel #flawless.
