Gimme A Break

I had a couple of temporary tattoos done at a corporate family day I went to some months ago. It was really cool and painless, of course. So I didn’t mind. I wear tank tops all the time because of the hot weather, and having a tattoo was a nice touch to having bare arms.

But if you were to ask me to do the real thing, I would have second thoughts because nice though it may be, for a while, I’d be too chicken to try. One of my cousins did a couple of tattoos just for fun when he was younger and he said it hurt. Not to mention that it was frowned upon by our family.

I guess the thought of walking into a shop to get a tattoo done is what’s most intimidating. Not if you get a Starter Tattoo Kit and do it yourself at home. The kit comes with a whole set of everything you’ll need to get a proper tattoo done.

Previously, you had to do your practice runs on oranges before attempting to do it on your own skin. But now, you get practice skin, which is much more realistic, to work on for a start. So are you game?
