Tattoo withdrawal is a real thing

The next week you'll already be itching for another trip to the parlor.

The buzz of the needle is your favorite sound

The minute you hear the sound, you know it's about to get real.

You're running out of places on your body for tattoos

Your body is now a giant canvas for amazing art.

You're on a personal level with your artist

You know their life story, hopes and dreams, likes and dislikes, and they know yours, too.

Tattoos can range from deep meanings to spur-of-the-moment designs

What may have started as intricately thought out designs has transformed into getting a tat "just because."

You have gotten all of your tattoos from the same place

When the artists see you walk in, they're already setting up a station for you.

Or your pieces are from different shops all over

This is a great way to meet different artists and get permanent souvenirs from wherever you went.

Ladies, you've heard the line "How will those tattoos look in a wedding dress?"

They're going to look amazing because I got them so they could be seen...

You're asked constantly what your tats will look like when you're old

I'll still look amazing, even in my nursing home.

When you're asked what you want for a present, your answer is money for a new tattoo

Christmas, birthday, and everything in between, for any holiday where you receive a present, your wish is some $$$ for another trip to the shop.
