The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is...

"FEAR!!! That's the only word that came to mind when I was thinking about getting a tattoo. My best friend and I both play softball and the day before our final season started, we decided to get inked to remember all our times on the team together. There was no way I was going to chicken out because it was something that I really wanted to do. The day of my appointment I was a nervous wreck and this feeling continued up until the first lines were drawn on my thigh. I'm not gonna lie and tell you it doesn't hurt because it definitely does. But if you want it bad enough, you'll put up with pain. It feels as if someone is burning you with cigarette. My suggestion is that you take along a bunch of friends like we did to provide support and pressure so you don't get too scared and change your mind."
