This past weekend Amalia and I decided to go home to Austin and take our east Texas friend Sarah with us. We were ready to tear it up and show Sarah a good time. First item on our list... Amalia decided she was going to get a tattoo! She had thought about it a lot and decided to get on her foot:
Love conquers all in italian (because she is an italian guida!) We got home to Austin and we were getting ready to go. Amalia decided that she wanted to get her tattoo done at Platinum Ink. Platinum Ink is a tattoo/piercing shop in Austin, famous for their $15 body piercings on Sundays. We left and headed for the tat shop! I was getting nervous, but Amalia was very calm. We went in and Amalia gave her idea to the tattoo artist, paid, and signed all the papers. Her tattoo artist's name was Chaos and we could tell he was gonna do a great job. After waiting a little while, we finally went back into the room and Amalia was sitting in the "operating chair". I was definitely getting anxious and nervous for her, but I didn't want to show it and freak her out.
The needle turned on and my heart dropped. I do NOT like that noise! Amalia was so brave and didn't even cringe! I was very proud of her :-) It took about 5 minutes to do the whole thing and the finishing product is gorgeous!
Two days later, on Sunday, Sarah decided she wanted to get her belly button pierced. So we headed to Platinum Ink for the second time! Sarah paid the $15 and nervously sat in the other "operation chair." The piercing artist tried to calm her down and pierced her belly button quickly! She barely cringed and was also very brave.
All in all, it was a great weekend and successful trips to Platinum Ink. If anyone needs a piercing or tattoo, go to Platinum Ink!! To be honest, I felt a little left out for not getting any ink or piercings! Who knows what will happen in the next couple weeks ;-)
