The Meaning Behind the Ink: The Story

Underaged mistake

I was 16 when I got my first tattoo, and my boyfriend, who ended up being very physically abusive towards me, had just bought a tattoo gun from a pawn shop and wanted to practice on me when we first met.

 

I wanted an all-black Hello Kitty because of how much I loved my black cat, and the entire top layer of my skin was shredded so badly from him filling in the black part that it didn’t take and just kind of scarred me for life.

 

I would love to cover it up, but it isn’t in a spot where anyone would ever see it, so I would also love a better way to commemorate my beloved fur baby by getting something that I can actually show off. He passed away recently after being my best friend for over 20 years!

 

Anyway, I love your shop and can’t wait to get some ink soon! You guys rock!
