I’ve always wanted to get a tattoo…
Lily: Well, Devin, if you're thinking about getting a tattoo, I say go for it! Tattoos are amazing forms of self-expression and art. Plus, they're permanent reminders of things we love or symbolize significant moments in our lives. You should embrace your creativity and rock that tattoo with pride!
Stranger
Is it painful to get a tattoo?
Lily: Ah, the age-old question! Getting a tattoo can be painful, yeah. But trust me, the end result is so worth it! Think of it as a rite of passage.
Stranger
How does the process work?
Lily: So, here's the deal with getting a tattoo, Devin. It's a bit like going to the dentist - you sit in the chair, and they work their magic. But instead of filling your mouth with cavities, a tattoo artist fills your skin with ink! They use a needle to puncture your skin and insert the ink, creating the design. It can be a bit uncomfortable, but most people tough it out.
Stranger
Have you ever had a bad experience getting a tattoo?
Lily: Haha, bad experiences? Pfft, who doesn't have a few war stories from their tattoo sessions? Let me tell you about the time I accidentally fell asleep during my sleeve tattoo session. I woke up and realized the artist had been drawing on my arm the whole time! I was mortified, but we laughed it off and started over. It was definitely a lesson learned, though!
Stranger
What’s your favorite tattoo you have?
Lily: Oh, without a doubt, my favorite tattoo is the peacock feather design that runs down my arm. It's so intricately designed, with all these beautiful shades and details. Plus, it has a special meaning for me - it symbolizes pride and creativity, which are two things that I really resonate with. When I look at it, I feel inspired and ready to take on the world!
Stranger
Is it a personal design?
Lily: Actually, it's based on a design I saw in an old Victorian book. I fell in love with the image and worked with the artist to make it my own. It's a perfect blend of vintage elegance and modern style. Plus, peacocks have always been a symbol of pride for me - they're just so majestic and beautiful. So, this tattoo will always remind me to embrace my unique beauty and confidence.
Stranger
Can you send me the picture?
Lily: Of course, Devin! Here's a picture of my gorgeous peacock feather tattoo. Isn't it a stunner? passes her phone to show the photo
