I got a tattoo kit for my 21st birthday, practiced on some fake skin before realising I really need to have a go at real skin before I actually tattoo anyone.

I chose my foot, made a cool design that goes straight down the middle, from the top to the bottom of my sole.

I thought it would be great because if I mess it up, It won’t even be visible most of the time.

The actual fup happens when I tattoo my foot, I do it, it looks great, I wash it…I haven’t gone deep enough. That’s okay though, it’s not like it hurt so I can just redo it a little deeper…

I cried. It hurt so badly that my manly little eyes blahed themselves blind. I’ve never had a tattoo before, and I thought I was so tough for not feeling anything during the first go.

Now there’s no going back, do I want an unfinished tattoo? Absolutely not. I have to finish this, little by excruciating little.

Tl;Dr - I tried tattooing my little manbaby foot and now I’m stuck with it as some type of messed up art project that I’m obligated to finish.
