I recently got my second tattoo! My first (the sun on my back) was done in the US and while the process is very similar to getting one in Great Britain, there are some differences! Watch me get my tattoo while I explain some of the laws surrounding tattooing in the UK and include fun facts about tattoos in both countries.
I got my tattoo in Edinburgh, Scotland at Studio XIII (http://studioxiii.tattoo/) by Noemi Sorrentino (follow her on Instagram at naiomitattoo). It was an amazingly positive experience and I adore her!
*In this video I sped up the footage by 30%, but kept the audio the normal speed (I found it distracting when sped up).
