My swallow tattoo
One day I asked myself whether tattoos are good. I thought "no problem", so I got my first tattoo - swallow. It means freedom. In this free country, let me fly freely.

It was all a dream
The tattoo artist said it would take about 20 minutes. I asked if it would be painful? He said, no, even if it hurts, it is a pain you can bear.
Start tattooing
The tattoo artist first printed the drawing on my right shoulder. At that time, he asked me whether I wanted the swallow to be on the outside or on the inside (near the neck). I said without thinking about the inside, near the neck. He said that he thought it was on the outside because it is a very common phenomenon for swallows to fly outward, yes, and I don’t know why I want to look inside. I think it’s because of “me”.
After the watermark paper was printed, I heard the sound of the machine. Well, it started. I felt the pain at this moment. Soon after, I felt more carefully like being bitten by ants, but not one, is 100...but like a tattoo artist That said, this kind of pain is bearable pain.
He tattooed the outside first, and then the shadow part. I think I had accepted the pain by then, and the 20-minute ant bite process was over quickly.
I am grateful that I had the courage to get a tattoo that day, so that my body can mark important records and meanings. Now (2024) I have a total of 4 tattoos, each of which also represents the changes and meanings in my life. Let my body become the canvas of life and record my fruitful life.
Maybe one day I lose my courage
There will be a day when I will no longer be young
Wait until that day when your hair is all white
I wish that every time I see this swallow
I will also remember
I once bravely jumped out of comfort zone
Fly to a different place, fly freely like a bird
Remind me not to forget my innocent heart
