Manda's first tattoo!

FAQ:
- It's on my lower right back
- I got it done at Infinity Ink Tattoo (pender & seymour, Downtown)
- It cost me $100
- I tipped him $10 and a lot of giant cookies
- It took about 40-50 minutes to do
- The tattoo artist's name is Shane (smoking hot)
- The characters mean "PASSION"
- I got the design done by a woman at the Chinese Cultural Center in Chinatown 2 weeks prior for $13
- I stuck that design on my desk to see if I'll ever get sick of it after staring at it for 2 weeks
- Never did
- Went with Sally Chan, Vee Lam, Annie Chu, and Christine Tang
- Barely hurt, it tickled, and it felt like a vibrating cell phone pressed into my back. Also, it felt like threading (eyebrows) repeatedly... it did NOT feel like a stabbing cutting digging pain.
- It did NOT hurt afterward, in fact right now I don't even feel it
- It did NOT hurt in the shower, though I expected it to
- It is expected to take 2 weeks to be safe, and 4 weeks to be fully healed
- It is also expected to last a lifetime ;)

I see you went with the ever-original Chinese writing on your back A++ for thinking outside the box and getting something with strong, true undertones of sincerity.

@oEZDUZITo I'm not sure if that was sarcasm or not! But thanks either way! It means passion, or extremely strong emotion, which is what I had felt for paddling and racing. The sport essentially kept me from suicide and other dark things a teenager may come across when she is born into a world of racism and homophobia. It reminds me to breathe in, out, and get on with it. And, to just spend life doing what I love! I think that is important.

my reason for watching this video is i plan on getting a tat there :) i'm really excited! i cannot wait!! seeing you not screaming in agony has inspired me to be courageous and go for it!! what do you mean by "threading eyebrows"??? thanks so much for posting this!! PEACE!

[mandababee]

@AussieWiccaJapLuva I'm not sure if eyebrow threading is offered in Australia. But, it's a way of removing eyebrow hair, like waxing. Waxing is painful but only for a moment. Definitely tolerable. And ya it's my pleasure, glad you enjoyed watching it!

It looks like it was done at the kids house. Kinda sad people don't go to shops like they should where it is CLEANER!!

[mandababee]

@Shotsey702 It was definitely clean. I would've licked the needles if they allowed me to. I'm a germophobe and shopped long and hard for the right place. It was spectacular there!
