here is my new #catwomen tattoo done by @nikkohurtado! 🌟I can’t get over how amazing it looks… on the left you can see that after nine laser treatments my arm was light enough to cover up perfectly. I made the mistake of getting my first tattoo at 18 years old and I had no idea that there was such a thing as “good and bad” artists.. I walked into a shop and let some guy draw up some cartoon design and then he tattooed me stoned out of his mind and drilled me. It hurt SO bad. Now that I have almost all of my body covered, I look back and laugh because he dug so deep and fucked up my arm… thankfully there is laser BUT.. here is some advice: laser is expensive. it hurts TEN times more then an actual tattoo. I urge all of my fans and followers to do real research before you decide to get anything on your body! 💯 remember, learn from my mistakes! 9 years later I decided to get something beautiful and close that chapter in my life! thanks @nikkohurtado for giving me something I’ll cherish forever.”
