Man, I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now, and seeing Ryan Garcia’s ink just pushed me over the edge. That guy’s got some serious artwork on him. I finally decided to take the plunge and get something meaningful to me.
So, the first thing I did was scroll through tons of tattoo designs online. I mean, hours of looking at lions, crosses, doves, you name it. Garcia’s got this awesome lion on his chest, and that got me thinking about getting something that represents strength and courage, too.
After a few days of brainstorming, I settled on a design – a lion’s head, but with a bit of a unique twist. I found this amazing tattoo artist in my city, a real pro named Mike. We chatted about my idea, and he sketched out something even cooler than I had imagined.
Booking the appointment was easy. I just called Mike’s studio, and we set a date. The day of the appointment, I was pumped. I walked into the studio, and the place was awesome. Cool vibes, great music, and Mike was super chill.
We finalized the design, and then it was time to get down to business. Mike prepped the area on my back, and I laid down on the table. The first touch of the needle was a bit of a shock, but it wasn’t too bad. It felt like a scratch, really. I focused on my breathing and tried to relax.
During the process, Mike and I chatted about all sorts of things – boxing, life, you name it. He told me about some of the crazy tattoos he’s done over the years. It was cool to hear his stories and it made the time fly by.
A few hours later, it was done. I sat up and looked in the mirror. Man, it was even better than I expected. The lion looked fierce, the lines were sharp, and the shading was on point. Mike wrapped it up, gave me some aftercare instructions, and I was good to go.
I followed Mike’s aftercare instructions to a T. Kept it clean, applied the ointment, and avoided scratching it. It healed up perfectly. Now, every time I see my tattoo, I’m reminded of the courage I want to embody, inspired in part by Ryan Garcia’s bold ink. It’s not just a tattoo, it’s a piece of art that tells a story, and I’m proud to wear it.
