A lot of poorer people will get home jobs done. My students from the alternative school often got their friends to do tattoos on them. Anyone can buy a tattoo gun and ink these days. Stupid for sure and they look like **** but there you go.
I got my first at 19 and I now have six. I’m currently waiting on my trusted artist to call me to do my other forearm tattoo. I work as a teacher but because of the scars I would never show my arms at work anyway (and I’m always cold) so I didn’t care about getting a forearm tattoo (or two lol). I have two more planned after the forearm. Then I will have four done specifically to deter me from self harm. Whatever works right?
