getting a new tattoo is like

first 1-2 hours: it’s pretty, wrapped in plastic, and if ur in public people think you’re interesting

next 2-8 hours: you’re leaking sweaty black goop out of your cling wrap prison, the tattoo is a lovecraftian abomination, no one will ever love you again

next 1-4 days: keep it moisturized! but let it breathe! don’t over-saturate it! now it’s dry and itchy! fuck you!!!!

next week: you have a tattoo, you’ve forgotten how much it hurt and how much aftercare sucks, and you want another one….like now
