 okay so how do you feel? I'm getting nervous this is your first tattoo? yes and I'm just getting nervous like I want to look at the image again and I think it's weird that you have to prepare your face because normally when you do you're going somewhere like you don't know that you're going to be in pain like pain always happens sudden right but now I just I don't know how to prepare for pain I also was like it's going to be here I was like okay so this is the last time I can actually look at my arm and there's nothing there so it feels I feel the gravity of the permanence like once we go and come back out won't be the same person again like literally physically I know every day we have that as a person but now it's physically visible so the pain aspects I don't know how to prepare for it and the permanence the gravity of the the permanent aspect is a bit making me a bit nervous like what if I don't like it or what if maybe I'll do it and then after one thing I'm like I can't do this and then they're small or not even half like one stripe you have to explain that for the rest of your life that you chickened out of the tattoo all that's going to my hands so I'm a bit nervous it's your first and it's also a tattoo a couple's tattoo oh yeah okay that's we're just talking about that so that's two levels of permanence yeah yeah well the thing is I mean we do it because we want to celebrate or honor like one year of marriage and of course marriage is forever but it's not written on your body but now we're gonna write it on our body so it's like a different level of commitment like literally I'm wearing it well that's actually not true because you have a ring of course but then you can take off okay so this is you can never take off which is also a level of permanence yes which is exciting but also scary but that's the least one I'm worried about I'm more worried about the pain and not being able to go through with it and whether I'll like it like what if I don't like it but I think I like because we thought about it for a long time this has not happened on a win this happened through a lot of processes okay so we're gonna get ready in a bit and the appointment is at 12 and we'll do an after of how we feel about it all right when it comes to the expression of romantic love getting tattoos usually comes off as one of the least favorite acts to perform I mean there were even warnings on the wall however this is for us and we're happy with it whichever way you choose to honor something or someone it's entirely up to you and this will always be a part of our journey together if you haven't seen my previous video on the process of getting a tattoo I'll leave a link in the description box below as well as on the screen in the next couple of minutes I'll be showing you the process as it happens till finish so enjoy it's all fine and then but for me this is like my let me see I mean it's like my Sith tattoo so I'm okay with the aftercare and everything but I'm going to ask Elaine what she also thinks about the whole process and how she has to take care of it after I finish talking but in terms of the symbol of having this tattoo this matching tattoo something we've talked about or something we discovered together and decided we wanted to take it up after one year of marriage and so this is something we decided to do just in case you're wondering how permanent this is and we've thought about it we decided and we want to do it because the symbol means a lot to us than you know doing something like this with your spouse so that's why we did this and I'm happy with how it came out I'm happy with my tattoo and I'm looking forward to more yeah it was painful yes it was like somebody was drilling burning and cutting inside my skin but I managed to look at one point and just focus on it and he goes back and forth with the ink so it's not constantly on your skin so when he's getting the ink you can actually take a breath and kind of you know relax and then when he starts again you know okay he's starting again next set so you just have to breathe through it honestly so my yoga practices came in very handy um which was funny I couldn't I didn't really felt like talking when I was talking a lot to me when it was when I was sitting down I was just like I don't want to talk I just want to like breathe and just let it see happening and first I didn't look at it how I was doing it but then later I was like okay I can look so it was I say it was fine and it feels like it was it's been there forever like when it's when I was looking it was like oh you know it's it makes sense it it's supposed to be there so the so the first thing that came off was like joy after the after he was done so that was a good feeling and I didn't expect it I was like you know he maybe cannot like it and then you're screwed but for me luckily I liked it and I also liked it that Kwami has the same thing and that it means for us we're honoring our one year of marriage and that is something we want to do it did felt a bit cheesy that we have the same tattoo but we we talked about that a lot and this is what we wanted so I liked it yeah after care you just have to put some some special cream and try not to scratch it it will prick a little bit but I think it's doable and yeah you just tell people about it or people see it um I already have my boss say say goodbye to corporate because I had the tattoo but I think it's very subtle and it's not so much out there like it's not like a tattoo on my face or my neck or anywhere too big so I don't think that's really true but uh yeah I like it and I already have three ideas for a new tattoo so that's not gonna come soon but I want this one to heal first before I go into the next one to fully understand the process good okay
