Have you ever put off doing something for a long time because you just knew it was going to be a massive pain?

Then you finally do it and its completely painless and over quickly? 🤣🤣

I avoided something for YEARS and finally took care of it yesterday. I'm still laughing at how easy it was after it festered in my subconscious for so long.

I didn't get any of my first tattoos or piercings until I was 24 (I recently turned 28 btw). For one, I didn't know what I wanted so I didn't wanna commit to anything. But I also wondered what if I couldn't handle the pain & I ruined my skin with unfinished work 😶

Then it turned out I like the pain & got kinda addicted for a lil while

@ChiefJustWalks I didn't get any tattoos till 37! It is definitely addictive but I think therapeutic in a way.

@MarbleMarvel I agree with it being therapeutic. I think it's something about the pain & feeling proud of something about your body. There's so many people who hurt themselves in destructive ways but I view getting tattoos as hurting myself in a positive way. It's a wound I'm proud to show off instead of one I'd want to hide

@ChiefJustWalks it's an acceptable form of self harm. I used to cut so some of mine cover up those scars. Turning pain into art, couldn't be more human.

@ChiefJustWalks I almost fell asleep when I got my tattoos done, it is so therapeutic 😌
