Tattooing my mom๐
Such a special experience!
About 25 years ago my mom got her first tattoo. She took me with her to the tattoo shop. And it was love it first sight.
I was so small I wasnโt able to look over the counter. There was this opening I could look in between, where I could see the tattoo artists at work. There was this guy that got his back tattooed. And I remember looking at it. With big eyes. It was absolutely amazing!!!
The lady that was working there thought it wasnโt appropriate for a little girl like me to see someoneโs back being tattooed. So she sat me on the couch. Next to a huge coffin (it was normal sized, but to me it looked huge).
There was baby bat Chrissy born. And so was my love and interest for tattooing.
My mom got a tribal. And a few years later I also got my first tattoo at that shop.
After 25 years, my mom asked me to make her old tattoo pretty.
I freehanded it. And she also asked me to add a moth (to symbolise me)๐ค
