So...
I always really liked tattoos
really, really, really, liked them
but I was really afraid...
because it hurts.
But, then I started to notice that a lot of things in my life
had enough significance for me to have on my body...
...that I want to remember for the rest of my life.
That's why all of my tattoos have significance.
So, I started going through periods in my life
where I said "this is really important to me and so I want it on my body forever."
And that's how so many tattoos came to be
except that so many important things happened
that many tattoos resulted from them.
It ended up being 10, huh?
For now.
So...
It hurts.
But it's completely tolerable
it's like...
it's like it stings.
It's more like a sting.
You don't feel pinches
it's like stings, as if it were itching and stinging.
Understand?
Especially the colored ones...
the colored ones sting a lot.
It gets very swollen.
And what hurts a lot and many people don't know
is filling in the whiteness.
Which is to brighten up the tattoo.
That's what really does hurt a lot
that, I can say, really hurts
I almost cried.
It hurts A LOT.
Because the whiteness
are various tones each on top of the other
so the whiteness hurts.
But...
When first getting a tattoo
mine are pretty big
when first getting one, it hurts, but tolerably.
Later, it stops hurting, because it turns numb.
So, you only feel it stinging.
It's... okay, to me.
I like it, it's a good pain.
Yeah, it's addictive.
I'm proof of that
because my first tattoo was when I was 15 or 16
Now, I'm 19...
so, I have 10 tattoos just in that time period.
I know people who got their first one 15 years ago
and to this day only have 2.
So, to me, it's addictive because I love the result.
I like looking in the mirror and seeing the artwork.
I like people asking:
"What's this?"
"What's that for?"
I like to look and see myself all colorful.
I love it.
So, yes, it's addictive, but I guess not for everyone.
To me, it's addictive because I really enjoy the results.
Now, there are other people who go for pain over result.
So...
This one.
Then, this one.
My little "daughter".
And this one here.
Which is for my mother.
This other one here
which those of you who speak English will understand.
And then, my Harley Quinn.
Next, my fox.
And my tree.
And my servant.
And...
one that's out of order, which is the one on my leg.
Which is...
this one here.
Which is the rabbit from "Alice" [in Wonderland].
And it's really big.
That one hurt a lot.
It hurt.
The shadowing hurt a lot.
So...
When are you going to get some ink on that skin?
When am I going to take you to a studio
for you to look this way like me?
Mine are free.
I have sponsors.
(under breath): Soon.
Very soon.
