Wendi: OK, Rina, I'd like you to tell me about getting your first tattoo 1.
Rina: When I got my first tattoo I was 22 years old and it was supposed to be a very small, maybe one or two hour piece and it's true what they say. They're very addictive 2 because it turned out to be a 12-hour tattoo on my back and I put a lot of thought into that first tattoo. It took me about three years to come up with the design and the person that did it is still my tattoo artist today. Nobody else has ever tattooed 3 my body.
Wendi: Wow! When you went in were you expecting to be under the needle for twelve hours?
Rina: Well, they do it in sessions, so I did the first part in a four-hour session and then you heal for about two to three weeks and then you go back for another three or four hours and I did mine in four three-hour sessions. I did it in four-sessions. Give or take a few hours there.
Wendi: So what was the whole experience like, getting a tattoo for the first time? Was it what you expected it to be or did it hurt more?
Rina: It wouldn't have been as bad if somebody didn't tell me before I went that it's like a thousand burning scalpels going down your body and that was what was on my mind the whole time.
Wendi: Wow! That sounds painful.
Rina: It was painful, but after it was done, like the whole time getting it done, all I could think about was, " Why am I doing this?"
Wendi: For sure.
Rina: "This is really stupid. I'm never doing this again" but once your finished, it's like OK, what can I do next.
Wendi: Wow! When you were getting it done, what was going through your mind?
Rina: What am I doing?
Wendi: Seriously.
Rina: Yeah. Like I'm never doing this again and it's still the case now when I got my last one at Christmas, just last Christmas, and the whole time I'm like, "What am I doing? This is ridiculous."
Wendi: Do you worry at all that it's not going to turn out well if there's a big mistake that you're stuck with something terrible forever?
Rina: No, and that just goes with the trust I have in my tattoo artist. It's more about the pain cause it hurts but you just kind of grind your teeth and bear it.
Wendi: So you got your first tattoo and kind of, what happens right after you get a tattoo? What kind of care do you need to take care of it or?
Rina: You need to keep it clean. Definitely. It's like an open wound really. You have to keep it clean and not let it dry out so. Many different tattoo artists have different after care remedies and I've tried quite a few of them and I've kind of been the guinea pig with my tattoo artist with a lot of after care remedies.
Wendi: Yeah.
Rina: Some suggest Vaseline. Some suggest simple Lubiderm Lotion 4. Some tattoo parlors 5 have ointments 6 so basically you wash it with silk that's not anti-bacterial, that's just like plain silk and then you let it air dry for ten minutes and then you moisturize it. You keep washing and moisturizing it. The first week maybe three or four times a day.
Wendi: You're a brave woman.
Rina: I think so.
