Okay, so I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now, and I finally decided to take the plunge. As a Sagittarius, I wanted something that really represented my sign, but also something personal, you know? Not just some generic design off the internet.
First, I spent a good chunk of time just browsing online, looking at different Sagittarius tattoos. There are tons of them out there, ranging from simple bow and arrow designs to more complex images of the centaur archer. I saved a bunch of images that I liked, just to get a feel for what was possible. Some were way too intricate for my taste, others too plain. I was aiming for that sweet spot in the middle.
I also read a lot about the symbolism behind Sagittarius. I learned that it’s a fire sign, associated with adventure, optimism, and a love of freedom. This really resonated with me, and I wanted my tattoo to reflect those qualities. I thought about incorporating elements like fire or arrows, but I also wanted something unique.
After a few weeks of research, I finally stumbled upon an artist whose style I really loved. His work was a bit abstract, but still recognizable, and he had a lot of experience with astrological tattoos. I booked a consultation with him and we discussed my ideas. I brought along my saved images and we talked about what I liked and didn’t like about each one.
The artist sketched out a few different designs for me, and we went back and forth a couple of times until we landed on something I was really happy with. It was a stylized image of an arrow, but instead of a traditional arrowhead, it had a sort of fiery, cosmic design. I loved how it combined the traditional symbol of Sagittarius with a more modern, abstract aesthetic.
- Choosing the placement was the next step. I considered my arm, but ultimately decided on my back, just below my shoulder blade. I liked the idea of it being a bit hidden, but still visible if I wore a tank top or something.
- After the consultation, I waited a few weeks for the actual appointment. I made sure to take care of my skin, keeping it moisturized and protected from the sun. I also avoided drinking alcohol or taking any blood thinners in the days leading up to the tattoo.
- The day of the appointment finally arrived. I was a little nervous, but also excited. The artist prepped the area and we double-checked the design one last time. Then, he started the tattoo.
- The process took a few hours, but it wasn’t as painful as I expected. It felt more like a burning sensation than anything else. The artist was really professional and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process.
Finally, it was done. I was so happy with how it turned out. It was exactly what I had envisioned, and it felt like a true reflection of my personality and my sign. I followed the artist’s aftercare instructions carefully, keeping it clean and moisturized. It’s been a few weeks now, and it’s healing nicely. I can’t wait to show it off.
Getting this tattoo was a really cool experience. It was a way for me to express myself and connect with my astrological identity. I’m so glad I did it, and I’m already thinking about what my next one will be! It’s an extraordinary image for somebody who needs a great tattoo with a little bit of edge.
