Well, I did it! I got my first tattoo at the weekend:
The tattoo is on my side above my hip. It’s still a bit red and tender as you can see in the photo but that should fade soon.
I got this one to remind me to believe in myself and my dreams and the butterfly is there because I love butterflies and they symbolise freedom and beauty to me.
I was really scared going to the tatoo parlour, I dragged my mum with me as I’m a baby but it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would and I’m quite proud of myself for getting through it!
Who else has a tattoo?

/ July 11, 2011i have a large technical drawing of a butterfly on my back. ive had it for four years. im thinking about another one
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Yay butterflies! When I left they said I’d be back as they’re addictive
Julia (AKA Jules)
/ July 11, 2011gorgeous tattoo! I’m a bit of a wimp about tattoos and stuff. Not only the pain, but how it’d look when I get old & crinkly….
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Thanks! I was a whimp too but it wasn’t as bad as I thought and it’s pretty hidden for when I’m older

/ July 11, 2011Love it.
I don’t have any, but Ba.D. came home with a small one on his inner arm after an event last year. The tattoo itself is just a little TV inlaid by the number of days he was on TV (I think it was 16?), but somehow? It still ends up being sexy. This continues to surprise me, because I’d never thought of tattoos as sexy before.
In my late teens, I wanted to get a band of knotwork tattooed around my wrist and/or ankle. If I were to get a tattoo now, that wouldn’t be it, not that I’m sure what “it” would be!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Thanks! That’s a unique tatoo, I think they work well if they mean something. You also need to be really sure what you want! Maybe a symbol for the baby?!

/ July 11, 2011I am scared…does it hurt? I went with a guy to get one…and I saw blood on his chest…
scary cat, Jaye
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011It feels like a scratch and hurt more on longer lines like the butterfly wings and vibrated over the bone but really not as bad as I thought it would be. Manageable! I didn’t look at the blood but mum said there was hardly any!
Leila
/ July 11, 2011Is tatoo is nice! I actually liked that you wrote a message to yourself…and feminin with the butterfly! Well done and courageous!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Thanks
Ipodman
/ July 11, 2011Woooh nice tattoo! I don’t have one…
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Thanks! Maybe one day
Megan
/ July 11, 2011Yay! I’m so proud of you for getting it! I have a sketch drawn up and know exactly what I want; even have a gift certificate from a tattoo parlor to go towards it….Yet, I still haven’t gotten it. I know just where I’d like to get it, on my left wrist as a reminder of those I love and miss on a daily basis. The only thing holding me back is my profession… I’ve heard such mixed opinions about those in the field of education having tattoos in visible locations. Many say that I’ll never get a teaching job in the public school system if I get that tattoo in that location…. I know in my heart that being inked will not have a negative impact on my teaching abilities, but those interviewing me may have different opinions. So, for now I wait… until I decide which way to go will be the best for me!
I LOVE your tat chica! So pretty
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Oh wow it’s tough I can see what people mean I bet there are some interviewers that would pass in the school system. To be honest that’s why I got mine somewhere hidden in case of work issues. Hopefully one day you can get it though!
Tori Nelson
/ July 11, 2011You are one brave lady! I’ve wanted to get one for years and always seem to find a way to wuss out!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Haha I’m a wuss at heart!
elvishjesusfreak
/ July 11, 2011I love it! It’s adorable! I’m a little scared of getting a tattoo… I might get one eventually but not for now
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Thanks Hope! Yeah give it a while make sure you really want one!
Surrey gal
/ July 11, 2011Oh wow, what a news!!! So when’s a next one, because I heard that it’s addictive?
I wouldn’t get one because I get bored very easily and I know I wouldn’t like what I had tatooed in a year or two…
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011I think I’ll get used to this a bit first
Maybe if something important happens I’d get one for that.

Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Thanks Suzi!
Vicki Tremper
/ July 11, 2011Congrats on your beautiful new tattoo! I would do something with a butterfly too, but I don’t like the permanence of a tattoo. Also, there’s a little religious issue.
Enjoy – and Believe!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Thanks Vicki!
Blond Duck
/ July 11, 2011Popped in to say hi! If I got a tattoo, I’d get a butterfly or dolphin.
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Hiya and welcome! Dolphins are really popular or you could get a duck like your blog name

/ July 11, 2011wow I want to get a tat but I need to talk to myself more
It looks great though! Love it.
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Haha yeah I had to do that! Thanks chick!
Melissa's Meanderings
/ July 11, 2011That’s is beautiful Vic! I don’t have any tattoos and probably never will…but if I did I’d get one in the same location as yours and it would either be a dragonfly or some sort of Celtic symbol.
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Thanks! Ah cool ideas!
jsh0608
/ July 11, 2011Cute tattoo. I have a tattoo on my forearm a tribute for me and my husband. A lot of people were all OMG you are getting that, what if you and Mando don’t work out?? I said then I will look at it and think to myself. I was so happy when I got this and in love. I don’t regret it at all. I can’t wait to get more. I am a baby when it comes to pain, but I held myself together and it helped that my husband and my best friend were there with me. :0)
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Sounds like it represents a great time in your life so embrace it I say!
Lynn Rush
/ July 11, 2011Yay. I love the tat. Very nice. They are sore for a bit after, aren’t they? I have three. My latest one (just a few months ago) is a cross with Hope, Faith, and Love on it. It’s my life verse, so I figured I’d make it permanent, right? LOL. I like yours. Believe…such a powerful word. LOVE it!!!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 11, 2011Thanks! Yeah I’m trying not to sleep on it
that’s a great verse to have I saw a pic on your blog very cool!
D...
/ July 11, 2011Oh congrats on taking the plunge. My friends are addicted to it, this may start a habit.
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Haha I don’t think I’d go too far
Grey Goose, Dirty
/ July 11, 2011awesome tattoo Vixter!
I’ve got 3. 2 I got when I was 20 (one on my left shoulder blade, the other above my hip bone) and then I got a 3rd on the back of my neck this year (i call it my mid-life crisis tattoo) :-0
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Thanks GG! Ah cool hehe embrace the crisis I say
Bonnie
/ July 11, 2011Vix… I absolutely LOVE it!! I noted a few similarities between us a while back – well here’s another. I haven’t gotten one yet, but for 3 years now have always said it would be a butterfly. To me it represents new beginnings and freedom. I love your wording and the butterfly too!!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Hehe thanks that’s cool you’d get a butterfly too! As it’s your profile pic I guessed you were also a fan
Tien
/ July 12, 2011Vix, that’s so sexy!! Very cool! I always have a thought of getting one but always chicken out because I am scared of the needle. How was the pain?
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Thanks Tien! I mean, it does hurt but not as much as I thought plus I didn’t look!
lbdiamond
/ July 12, 2011Pretty! I have 2 tattoos and am currently considering getting a third, LOL! Now that you’ve started, you won’t be able to stop, haha!

simplyshaka
/ July 12, 2011Awesome, I love it!
I had one tattoo on my hip and another one I am in the process of getting removed–its about 90% gone so just have to wait it out a little more to finish!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Thanks! Ah shame you don’t like yours anymore!

Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011I was a bit worried I would

/ July 12, 2011I’m too much of a chicken shit to get a tattoo (very low tolerance pain). But I believe I would also get a word or phrase if I ever went through with it, yours looks super cute!
Vix @ LittleMissEverything
/ July 12, 2011Hehe I have a low tolerance too! Thanks
Tipsy Lucy

glittertheair
/ December 22, 2011I got a tattoo on the weekend, its my first one, and I think it will be my last one too. I am one of these people that tries something and once its done, the novelty wears off…lol. It didn’t hurt anywhere near the amount I thought it would. I think if you just go in with the mindset that its the most unbearable pain ever then you will be pleasantly surprised and it makes it so much easier.
LittleMissVix
/ December 23, 2011Ooh cool what did you get?
glittertheair
/ December 23, 2011I got a dove with the wind underneath…represents the relationship I have with my grandfather.
