Grab yourself a drink, pull on your comfortable
pants and let’s start at the beginning shall we…
For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted a tattoo.
I don’t know what started my fascination as my dad doesn’t have any and my mum
only has a couple of little ones which are rarely visible.
I’m
pretty sure it may have something to do with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Fans of
The WWF (now known as The WWE) will remember The Rock having a bull tattoo on
his arm. Growing up, wrestling was a Friday night tradition with my friends and
staying up late to watch the Pay Per View events was a must do, otherwise
people at school would ruin it for you the next day.

Each week
we would watch our favourite stars beat the living crap out of each other. The
Rock being one of the main attractions with “The People’s Eyebrow” and his bull
tattoo, displayed for all to see, on his bicep. One of my personal favourites
was The Undertaker, who was also known for displaying his artwork - especially
during his motorcycle-riding, bandana-wearing phase.

So let’s
talk about my first tattoo. At the age of 16 I managed to convince my parents
to let me get one. Being oh so original and unique I settled on getting my own
name. On my forearm. In Chinese… I know what you’re thinking... “I thought he
said original?!” Well back then it seemed like a good idea. My mum had a friend
at work who’s husband did tattoos in his house. So I went along and paid £20
for the pleasure. Looking back it was probably not the best idea, and the
tattoo itself isn’t something I would choose now. But we’ve all been there
right?

My first tattoo was just as unique...my name in Greek on my back...
