The process of getting a tattoo is a bit like phoenix nirvana. If someone tells you that tattoos don't hurt, I think he must have never tried real tattoos. Listening to the sound of the tattoo pen, watching the tissue fluid mixed with blood on the skin ooze little by little, beautiful tattoo patterns gradually appeared. Anyone who has had this experience knows that when the pain reaches a certain limit, you feel uncomfortable when you hear the buzzing of the tattoo pen. Therefore, a large-area tattoo design needs to be divided into several times. The patience of the average person is 3 hours in a row, and I have seen a girl write for 8 hours. In order to overcome the pain of getting tattoos, she called her friend for 3 hours and ran out of phone calls. Even after the article is finished, you have to go through a process of breaking the cocoon and turning the butterfly. The skin will scab first, you may be itchy, then peeling, and finally after a period of recovery, the delicate tattoo will appear.
This process prompted me to think: What is it that people have to endure this pain to get tattoos?
if you ask someone who has written a large area of patterns what it feels like to get a tattoo, most of them will say "good, painful and happy!"
Because in their hearts, I feel that I have resisted such a strong pain, so what can't be done? The process of tattooing verified the results of their self-challenge and recorded their process of surpassing themselves. So many people who have experienced a tattoo have started the journey of increasing tattoos. In this circle, everyone says that tattooing can be addictive.
Initially, in my impression, tattoos are a very personal marginalized product, which is naturally linked to "non-mainstream". But in the process of deepening my understanding, I found that tattoos have formed an unstoppable trend and culture, and the tattoo industry is quietly developing rapidly.
After getting to know dozens of tattooists, I got a lot of interesting stories and became friends with them. Only then did I realize that my view of the tattoo community was too narrow. After finishing the topic of tattoos, maybe I will also write a pattern to commemorate this special shooting experience and the people I met during this process. Thank them for trusting me so much and let me get closer to their lives so that everyone can have Ways to understand and look at tattoos from a new perspective.
The Japanese tattoo master Diao Yuxi III once summed up the enlightenment that tattoos brought to his life in this way: The carving of stitches is like every day of life. To cherish every stitch is to cherish every second of life.
People get tattoos for various reasons, and the most fundamental intention is to encourage themselves not to give up halfway, use their will to overcome physical pain and surpass themselves. To be a valuable person, I think, this is the meaning of living.
