Dragonfly Tattoo

I have been contemplating for years to get a tattoo and just before Chinese New Year, I finally got the courage to get inked.
I contacted the tattoo artist, Kimberly Wan of Dragonfly Tattoo, Publika Shopping Gallery to get her advice on tattoo designs and to make an appointment. She was very accommodating and gave good advice. She recommended me a good design and assured me the location where I will be getting inked will not be painful (it was painful but bearable).
I reached the tattoo parlour early, Kim greeted with a smile and told me the procedure (signing some agreement and etc). She was prepared and had the outline sketched. She reassured me that it will be fine, she took out her equipment and needles in front of me. (Ain’t no dodgy business here yo)
Kim told me to relax as she started to ink me. In the beginning, she kept asking me if it hurts and would stop if I could not bear the pain. I felt she was a doing a good job, she was not rushing with me. I could tell she is a very detailed person, she did not leave out any details.
The whole session took about two and a half hours. Once she was done inking my arm, she told me to immediately get a certain ointment to apply to reduce itchiness and flaking. At the same time, she told me to get medication if I had an allergic reaction and see the doctor if any allergy persist.
It has been a month now since I got inked, no complications and still very much happy that I had my first tattoo done by an experienced and good tattoo artist.
