It’s no secret that I have a minor obsession with tattoos. I love art and tattoos are permanent artworks on a persons body. I love most tattoo styles, but my faves are Photo-realism and New School. I love the bright and bold colours, that New School style offers and the softness that Photo-realism offers.
So last week I went to Copenhagen Ink Fest with Mia Malene and Ida. We met outside TAP1 and went to stand in line. The line was long, but it wa moving pretty quick. When we arrived inside the venue we looked at the map and found where our tattoo artists were situated. They were easy to find and after waiting a bit for stencils, we got down to business. Mia Malene and I were getting tattooed at the same time, at the same booth, but by two different artists (no shit Sherlock). Ida was so sweet to keep us company and even took the pictures below. Mia Malene sadly had to leave early, because she had to go to Germany, but Ida kept me company and was a big help when the pain almost became too much. She talked to me and distracted me from the actual tattooing and it made it bearable. Normally I don’t think tattoos hurt much, but I’m not gonna lie – This one did, but only for the last 1½ hours. It took 5½ hours, including lunch break and other small breaks.
I love my new tattoo and it was definitely worth the pain. It means a lot to me and it might seem like it’s just an owl, but it’s really not. I’ll keep the meaning behind it to myself, but I’ll say as much as it’s for me and my grandparents :)
Det er ikke nogen hemmelighed at jeg er fuldstændig besat af tatoveringer. De er, efter min mening, evige kunstværker på kroppen. Jeg kan li’ de fleste stilarter, men mine favoritter er klart Foto-realisme og New School. Elsker de stærke, klare farver fra New School og de blide linjer, som Foto-realisme tilbyder.
Jeg var på Copenhagen Ink Fest sidste torsdag med Mia Malene og Ida. Vi mødtes udenfor TAP1 og gik hen til køen for at komme ind. Køen var forholdsvis lang, men den bevægede sig hurtigt. Vi fik hurtigt kigget på kortet over hvor de forskellige tatovører var og vi fandt da også hurtigt vores artister. Vi ventede så derefter på vores stencils og derefter gik vi i gang. Mia Malene og jeg bleve tatoveret på samme tidspunkt, i den samme stand, men af 2 forskellige tatovører (no shit Sherlock). Ida var så sød at holde os med selskab og hun tog også billederne, som I kan se nedenfor. Mia Malene måtte desværre gå tidligt, da hun skulle til Tyskland, men Ida blev og holdt mig med selskab og det var en kæmpe hjælp, da smerten på et tidspunkt var ved at blive for meget. Hun talte med mig og fik mig distraheret fra selve tatoveringen og det gjorde at det var til at holde ud. Jeg synes nu normalt ikke at tatoveringer gør ondt, men den her gjorde sgu niller naller, specielt den sidste 1½ time. Hele sessionen tog 5½ inklusive mad- og andre pauser.
Jeg elsker min nye tatovering og den var/er helt klart smerten værd. Den betyder så ufatteligt meget for mig, fordi det netop ikke bare er en ugle. Jeg vil ikke gå i dybe detaljer omkring mening bag den, men vil da sige at den er for mine bedsteforældre :)
