Welcome back to my channel.

Hello.

How are you today?

We are finally doing the tattoo diaries, Part two.

Now I know it has been highly requested.

You all have been asking why has it taken so long?

So I'm finally here where it's gonna have a little Barbara Walters moment on the couch.

I am here in New York City today, not in Los Angeles.

I am here for lipstick, Nick's makeup class.

And I thought, Why not sit down, finally have some free time and just sit and talk about tattoos, some life stories and just some crazy stories that I haven't thought about in a long time.

Now, if we have no idea what I'm talking about, part one will be linked down below.

And that's where I talk about.

My tattoo is all the way from my neck down to my private regions.

A lot of you've been wondering, why has it been taking me so long since I started YouTube and my brand.

Everything has grown together so crazy on.

And I just haven't had the time to really just sit down and do some story time.

So if you wanna watch today's video, I would definitely go grab a snack, grab a Red Bull, grab a friend and let's dive in to the Tattoo Diaries, Part two.

All right, so today we're gonna talk about my right arm, and this has been through some very traumatic experiences.

My right arm was the very first place I ever got tattooed.

So I graduated high school at 17 and I moved to L.

A.

Immediately.

I was just so bored of Orange County.

I was feeding for just more culture, more makeup, more activity.

So I moved to L.

A.

And I was like, You know why I'm ready to get tattooed.

I've always loved statues.

I grew up in the punk rock scene in a heavy metal screaming like the whole culture of this punk rock.

And I just love tattoos from Huntington Beach, California If you guys did not know that.

And I grew up on the beach with a lot of skaters and just punk culture, and I have just always wanted them all over obviously accomplish that.

But when you're 18 you have no idea how addicting tattoos can be, which they're addicting.

So I remember going, you know, if I want a tattoo like I'm someone that just goes big or goes home.

So I went to Hollywood Boulevard.

Now I am going to say real quickly.

Disclaimer.

Please.

Always remember to pick an artist that you have researched.

Now, here's where I made the mistake.

I was 18.

I was very ignorant.

I had no idea.

I thought everyone was great at tattoos.

If you know you did.

Tattoo is you must be amazing, cause I'm just such a crazy skill.

So I went to a random shop on Hollywood Boulevard, told this guy what I wanted, I wanted like, Well, we're gonna show some pictures here right now.

You guys have the before is that I dug up through my old phone and my old laptop.

It took me a minute to find these pictures, but I want to show you guys some riel flashbacks of what my arm looks like then.

And then, of course, from the laser removal to, Of course, Michelle Pfeiffer is Catwoman on my arm today.

So I met this guy, right?

Don't even say his name because it didn't end well and he drew up Clara bow.

That is a actress from the 19 twenties who was in the silent film era.

And I always loved that old Hollywood vibe.

So I got the words of makeup Massacre.

Remember I was 18.

I was like rebellious.

I'm like, yes, like makeups, everything and death and gore and razor blades and cupcakes.

And that was like my whole shtick was like a little bit of violence in a little bit of pretty.

That was my whole thing back then.

He dropped this amazing piece.

It looked really cool on paper.

It was stunning.

He put on the stencil I lived for.

It was all the way from here to my elbow, basically right.

And you guys see in the before has the razor blades, the mascara wand and all these things were incorporated with makeup days.

Here I go to get tattooed my 1st 1 ever.

It's a big piece.

I have no idea what I'm getting into and he starts tattooing, and it was all right.

It was like, Okay, this feels kind of like I don't know, like a sunburn or like a little stinging.

But it wasn't bad.

And then he starts doing the color.

He took a break before he smoked.

And I'm not saying that if you smoke weed, you're gonna be bad at tattooing.

But that day I don't know what this person was going through.

He dug really deep.

And what I mean by digging deep is that they're taking the needle on there, really going in really hard.

And he did it so hard that later, when my body was healing, it was extremely scabbed.

All the color fell out.

All the black lines were there.

But the color was so badly done and hurt so bad.

And I had no idea.

Later on, when I got more tattoos, I'm like, Okay, this should have never heard it that bad.

But he really went in.

And the tattoo you guys hurt so bad.

I was in so much pain, I couldn't believe it.

I was like, Oh, my God.

My mom told me not to do this.

I'm sitting there thinking like Oh, my God!

And made a huge mistake has hurt so bad on my crime.

I have big fuckinpussy.

I can't hang so later when it healed.

You guys, you guys can see in these pictures as a year to progress.

There was hardly any color at all fellow.

It looked awful and I was really depressed about it.

I felt like I fell and I like, ruin my body.

So years later, I've got more tattoos.

I took the risk with someone else on.

I found someone way better, and I got some great tattoos.

Years later, the technology of laser removal came out.

Now I've heard horror stories of people getting laser tattoo removal that it hurts so bad.

It's horrifying.

It's really painful.

There's blisters, there's blood.

Those were all true, Um, and it was brutal.

But if you really don't want something on your body, I think that the pain is worth it.

It's very quick.

The laser last for seconds, but while those seconds were going by, it is very painful.

Here are a few flashbacks of me getting laser now, the ink it has toe break down in your body and you have to go every month.

So for a year and 1/2 I went finally was really light enough.

We could kind of barely see it.

You see the outline and I was like, You know what?

I'm ready to get covered.

I went to Nico, her Tato, who has done a bunch of my tattoos on me.

He's done the Edward Scissorhands on my back and a bunch of other ones.

So I said, Hey, you are one of the best color tattoos in the entire world and I would love you to do a really sick piece, something really dark and dramatic that can really cover the laser scars and the old pigment from the first tattoo.

I love X Men.

I love Batman.

I love Marvel.

I look comics, and I just grew up In that world of characters and fantasy, I've always loved Catwoman in Batman is one of my favorite franchises.

Michelle Pfeiffer is the best Catwoman, so iconic.

So I picked her to get tattooed on me When I went in.

I was like, Are you sure you can cover this?

And he was like, We're good.

We started and he only did half the face and the whole background and going to stop and let that heal and come back.

So for, for like, a few weeks, Catwoman had no face.

It looks so weird.

And then I came back.

He finished it.

And when I looked in the mirror.

I was so shocked, like I got so emotional because it was such a ugly tattoo I had before, and it kind of sucks.

You have to look in the mirror and you have something on you that you don't want.

And I think a lot of you out there can definitely relate to me.

You've either gotten tattoos that you regretted, and you've gotten your boyfriend's name and broke up.

You've got tattoos and you were drunk, and you're like, What did I do the next morning?

So there's a 1,000,000 scenarios I know, but for me, I just know that I didn't want it on me.

So when I was finally covered, it felt like I had armor on.

I was a person.

I felt more confident.

I'm a tattoo healed so beautifully.

I was just, like, speechless.

So now we're gonna travel down a little bit on my entire forearm and my lower part of my arm.

Now, I met this girl named Zoe a long time ago, tricking like 12 years ago.

Now he was a tattoo artist.

I met on Melrose Avenue, which is a very famous street here in Los Angeles and we clicked.

We bonded.

I love her energy.

She was really cool.

She was also in a band and I told you guys, my whole stick and my thing back in the day was mixing pretty and ugly things together.

So as you travel down my arm, you will see a beautiful beauty shop.

Nagel It is a style of are an artist that did this type of design in the eighties.

I'm sure a lot of us things like nail shops and hair salons.

So I wanted Thio have everything beauty and danger on my body for this specific piece.

So you guys see the beauty shop Nagel, you see the peppermint Candies?

You see the pills.

I love the movie of Valley of the Dolls featuring Sharon Tate who have tattooed on me over here.

I just lived for that whole beauty queen.

Just aesthetic and the dark psychology behind it.

All.

You guys see, there's razor blade is a butcher knife.

There is a medical syringe.

There is a big mannequin here holding a human heart, which is reminiscent to my music days.

If you don't know, I didn't music for about eight years before starting my makeup company.

That's a whole nother story Time, you guys, But yeah, Zoe did all these.

I'm, like, totally taking off my jacket to look right now.

There is this tattoo right here.

Looks a little chicken scratchy, but it is a tattoo I got with one of my best friends named Britney.

And it's it's hashtag t a a C, which stands for there's always a catch.

It was a little phrase.

We used to stay back today about everyone, especially guys like when you find the perfect guy.

But there's always a catch.

I'm looking in my arms, like what else?

Okay, so this pink 666 right here.

This is really faded.

This is literally 10 years old.

So we were all at cap on these tattoo shop.

This literally like 10 years ago.

Everyone is partying, having a good time.

And for some reason, we got these tattoos on us and he hasn't asked.

I have it on my arm.

I think Cat has on her arm.

Think he tattooed her.

She do me.

It was just one of those really fun.

Crazy Hollywood nights.

Houston, My elbow.

It's unfinished.

I have an outline of a lollipop sucker.

It was supposed to be rainbow like the famous ones from the circus.

Or like you get a Disneyland a carnival and we did the outline and for some reason I never got it filled in.

And all these years I meant to do it so many different times.

But then it ended up getting a new peace and then a new piece and then another new one in another new one.

And I never finished it.

So it's kind of like an ongoing joke with myself that I'm just never gonna finish it.

Now.

One of my favorite tattoos that I've ever gotten is the iconic Mac lipstick.

Now Mac was my first ever job.

18.

I was fresh out of high school.

I had been living in L.

A.

For nine months doing Brandon Jobs, and I went to the Beverly Center and I applied at the Mac counter.

Annika hired, and it was such a dream, too.

Be a consumer that loves Mac, and we were talking back in the day, Mac was everything.

If you didn't wear Mac, you were a basic bitch.

That's what I was told to night school So when I got the job, I couldn't believe it.

It was such a moment for me.

It was such like a grown up moment from going toe, you know, 12th grade graduating.

What am I gonna do with my life?

Okay.

Like I loved makeup since I was, you know, a kid.
