Tattoo!!

Recommended Posts

juanil,

Thanks for your suggestion. Ya, you're right. There are many tattoo shops around nowadays. At one time they were popping up like mushrooms in Kuching, Sarawak here. But I don't want to bother anymore to fix mine. I just leave it as it is so that I have a story to tell people how silly I was if they ask about it.

Unlike the olden days, the way tattoos are done today here in Sarawak is already very technologically advanced. During the days when I got mine done, the instuments used were sewing needles, bamboo strip, pillow, a length of stick, and soot. It was a very bloody and painful process in which tears could ooze out from the eyes of the most courageous man.

The natives of Sarawak were good at it and it was the tradition that every man should have one to express their manhood. Further back in the past, no girls would want to marry a man without tattoos.

Apekjolly,

You're most welcome! Yeah, too many tattoo studios nowadays in Kuching. It seems like a trend now. Can see most people not only man got tattoos nowadays, young or old.

Yeah, natives of Sarawak were good at it and for man to show their manhood. Even though it's painful by using the traditional method, there's still some people prefer that old school method. Some said for thrill of the pain. Frankly, my FH said the interesting part of tattoo is for the trill of the pain! The pain that makes the tattoo process more meaningful but of course is not for the traditional method he is referring to. For instance, if the process of tattooing got no pain at all, well, I personally think that there's no more meaning for the art. Then, we can see almost people with tattoo along the street. A lot of people don't dare to go for tattoo even how much they like the art, I think the main reason will be fear of the pain.

Honestly, my first tattoo really a lot of pain! And it penetrates deep inside my sin's layer! But not the second, third, fourth, etc. The artist told us it's less pain due to his needle penetrates not as deep as before, the old school method.

Actually the pains are all depend on different people. For instance like we make the tattoo at the same part of the body, some people might say it's painful but some may not. Like me, I made it at the side of my tummy and it's tender part. But I don't feel the strong pain at all! Like We178, the feeling is like "semut gigit". But the other side of my tummy, it's more pain man.

For the touch-up, I don't really feel the pain at the same place but it's numb when it touches my spinal cord. So, all I can say is different people feel different thing!

Cheers! :wink:

has anyone of you regret it the second after it's all done? that's what some of my friends were telling me. that's y i did not get one... hmmm... how??

Melissa,

It really depends on your own and it's for the lifetime. Think twice before you wanna get it done since you're afraid of regretting.

Cheers! :wink:

juanil,

For me the feeling pain is still okay lar.becoz when u do the laser,they will use anesthetic cream to apply on the area first before they do the laser.
