1. OMG I'm so excited. This is the BEST idea! I've literally never had such a good idea and my life is going to be transformed.
2. It's got to be this one. This is the only design for me. I'm in love. I think I've been seeing this image in my dreams for my whole life. Possibly. I don't really remember. But anyway.
3. Maybe this one's quite cute too, though. It might actually have been what I saw in my dreams, they're a bit blurry.
4. OK, so my mother would like this delicate rose design. She definitely would. She'd be proud. I didn't go to university for nothing. I have taste and elegance and I am an educated lady. Shakespeare would've written sonnets about this rose.
5. *Gingerly picks up telephone*: "Fuck, Mum – do you like roses? In contexts other than your own garden? No, I'm not on drugs! I just can't… quite… explain… what… I am… getting… at."
6. OK, this is a terrible idea. I am far too elegant and tasteful for something as common as a tattoo. I will just redye my hair or get a new dress or something. Or a kitten.
7. It's 3am. I'm wide awake. Fuck everyone. I'm doing this. I'm a strong independent woman who doesn't need to please anyone else. I rock at life and I want to express myself. I am humungously rad and I want people to NOTICE ME, DAMN IT!
8. I will go to the tattoo parlour and check if they have an appointment. And they won't because everyone everywhere in every possible industry is always booked up forever. And I will take that as a sign and everything will be cool.
9. Now, today? Seriously? As in… NOW? Like, can you place it down to the exact second so I can plan? I wanted to plan. GIVE IT TO ME NOW, on the other hand!
10. OH GOD I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THE HURT!!!!!! WHAT IF IT HURTS??????
11. I literally did not wonder about the hurt until now. I am clearly clinically insane. It will be like having my eyeballs torn out whilst being scalped and listening to Boyzone. I'm not stupid.
12. OK, I texted my mate and she says it's like being stung gently by a bee. REPEATEDLY. Great.
13. I hate bees.
14. I'm going to die. This is it. But I will die pretty and illustrated.
15. I guess it's too late to change my mind when they've done the outline. It is a pretty outline though. I guess I could just keep the outline, maybe.
16. OK I could get used to this. I've stopped vomiting. That's something.
17. It's over. And the tattooist was kinda hot. I feel like we really connected.
18. Two words. SO. BEAUTIFUL.
19. OMG what have I done.
20. OMG I'm so glad I did this!
21. OMG, youthful indiscretion. YOLO.
