#the second nicest is my duvet because midwestern winter isn't a fucking joke

I'm going through what might or might not be a breakup with a VERY long term relationship and my brain is telling me to self destruct and go buy a bunch of alcohol (I don't drink) and get a tattoo (I don't have any tattoos) so like how much do tattoos cost and should I get one

oh dude that's awful and i'm so sorry! i'm sending you good wishes and i hope you're able to take are of yourself no matter what happens. i think the instinct to avoid diving into drinking is a good one. i would highly rec doing what i did and just write down tattoo ideas here and there. then if you do break up maybe wait 3-5 months until you're out of the worst of it and get the tattoo as a symbolic first step in the fresh start you're making for yourself?

to answer your actual question, prices vary a lot depending on where you're located, if your artist charges hourly vs. a set price by size, if there's a shop minimum, etc. if i had to ballpark it i'd say a fairly simple palm sized tattoo is gonna be like $80-100 plus tip.

#my tattoos are by far the nicest and most expensive thing i own and for what #the second nicest is my duvet because midwestern winter isn't a fucking joke #i am also a hypocrite because while i did get my first tattoo six months after a breakup #after my last breakup i got like. a tattoo within the next month which was stupid #like it turned out really well but not my finest hour #anonymous #ask and receive #alcohol mention
