Inked #3


So you may have seen on Twitter that I got my new tat done!  It says 'Wanderlust' meaning 'a strong desire to travel'.  A lot of people don't know this word and I've been asked a couple of times if I'd made it up, but no.  It does sound kind of fluffy and like it's from a fairytale, but I can confirm it's a real world!  To be fair I've only really come across it on Tumblr.  It suits me perfectly because over the last year or so I have become really interested in travelling (more so than before, anyway) and experiencing the world.  If it was up to me I'd win the lottery tomorrow night, quit uni and hop straight on a plane, but things don't really work like that, do they?  I am going to Paris at the end of February though so hopefully, slowly, I'll start going to more and more places.
I picked the writing as soon as I got there and it was over within ten minutes.  My other two tattoos are quite big compared to this so this was definitely the easiest one I've done.  The scratching was kind of intense due to him having to use a really thin needle for the writing, but it was no big deal.  I think thew placement is really lovely and I can't stop looking at it.  The other two are on my back so it's cool to now have one when I can just look at it whenever I want.
After getting this one, I booked in for my fourth one (definitely an addiction).  I will be getting that done on Thursday, so watch this space...

  3. I have two tattoos, and they are definitely addictive. Cannot wait to get my third (and fourth, and fifth, and sixth!) - hopefully the next will be done in Feb :D There's something about that buzz after the pain that you can't find anywhere else

    The tattoo is beautiful, the font is similar to one of mine too xxx

  7. Love your new tattoo! I've heard 'Wanderlust' before although I must admit, Tumblr did make me sit up and take notice of the word. Such a lovely word and thing to have, the strong desire to travel. :) I love the location of it too, very nice!

    1. Well I clearly need to get out more and get off Tumblr! Haha, it is delicate but at least it wasn't going over a bone. You should do it girl! This was over in no more than ten minutes, I was in and out.
