Hi it's me. The tattoo artist gogo.
For the activity hold by @justyy - 【活动】 晒晒你的18岁 What did you look like when you were 18?
I am posting this article for record the path for art and tattoos in my 18.
第一次响应大牛的活动，发布这篇文章来记录我的18岁。
那一段为了纹身和艺术奔走的精力充沛好时光。
是的没错，这是我。
坐在距离一张桌子只有1cm的床上，在一间面积小于1平方的佣人间里，含着橙子拍逗人一笑的照片。
这是我的18岁，想要更多的关注，想要变成焦点。
Sitting on the bed which right in front of a table, in a maid room which smaller than 1 square meter.
I was holding some oranges and took a selfie for make you laugh.
That was my 18. The crown, want to be liked.
What I was doing for living?
I draw. Imagination full fill me.
18岁的我如何维持生计？
我画画，用想象力来喂饱自己。
窝在床上，把脚放进床和桌子间的1cm小空间里。
用最心爱的廉价画具，把我心爱的想象力，放置在画板上。
Putting my feet into the small area between the bed and the desk.
Using paint to put my treasured imaginations on the canvas.
18 years old, I imagine that, pretty girls can be money face, because they spit diamonds.
I imagine that, pretty girls can't be money face, because they don't swallow diamonds.
I imagine that, money face could be beautiful, because that was a painting which draw for a brothel.
18岁的我，想象着拜金脸的样子，好看的姑娘，她们也许可以吐出钻石。
我想象着她们没有拜金脸的样子，因为她们有时可以把钻石吞下去。
我想象，她们本来美丽的样子，因为这幅画是为Geylang的一家卡拉OK酒廊画的。
她们美丽，好吃，有时有毒。
像水母。
They are beautiful, delicious, sometimes poison.
They are also jelly fishes to me.
18 years old, I made another crazy move - accomplish the jelly fish tattoo.
Because for the kind heart of these pimps and girls in the brothel, for what they appreciate my art.
For what they help me earn a little bit of cash for selling paintings to survive.
And asked me to disappear forever in their world and "to do right things" when I am not anymore underage.
That year I was able to be an real gogo dancer (but no and never).
But they stop me right away.
They are jellyfishes.
It is like they are telling me that: "Don't touch us, we have poison."
So I made this crazy move to remember who help me to understand the importance of "do right things".
18岁时，我决定把侧腰的水母纹身扩大做完。
这只水母纹身，是来自水母们对我的善意提醒。
她们告诉我，成年了就不能再和她们一起玩了，要去“做对的事”。
我很难忘了她们是如何善意接纳我，买我的画让我有点零花钱可以生存。
这个纹身，让我记得是谁让我牢牢记住“做对的事”的重要性。
对于那时的我来说，对的事，就是负责任的做纹身。
对于现在的我来说，对的事，也是做负责任的纹身。
这就是为什么我们创建了gogo.tattoo，因为旨在记录每个纹身的故事。
What was right for me at that time, is tattoos.
Do tattoos responsibly.
Recored every tattoo with its special story.
And that is why we have gogo.tattoo.
That year I have done this special tattoo for an old lady.
She felt so much pain and she could not even finish the whole process.
But at least now she have a tattoo.
She told me that she did this for her husband which don't have much days left on earth.
She would still being alive and grow old, might be look different afterward.
So she left a tattoo on body, for the time of her and her husband meet again in the dead zone, he can recognize her by this tattoo.
18岁那年，我为一位老妇人做了一个令人记忆犹新的纹身。
并不是因为这个纹身的样子或是纹身本身，这位妇人的实在年事不小，皮肤应该更为敏感，她受不了这个疼，所以并没有完成。
这纹身背后的故事实在是动人。
她告诉我，他的先生得了重疾，将要离世。
但她却仍然会继续活着。
她会孤单的变得更老，也许老到样子都变了，怕在阴间的先生再也认不出他了。
为了他们在阴间重逢的那天还可以相认，她决定做一个纹身在身上，那样如果样子变了，先生至少能认识她的纹身。
18岁那年，我在自己身上传说中的“无法上色区域”纹身。
脚后跟的皮肤组织真的是不一样哒，代谢太快，3个月不到就会不均匀的基本退完。
但是至少18岁时，我的脚后跟纹身很好看！
When I was 18, I was tattooing myself on that piece of "uncolorable skin".
The skin tissue on heel is really not the same with other parts, they metabolism too fast somehow, less than 3 months and they basically already unevenly disappear.
But my heel was beautiful when I was 18!
My workmates did warn me for trying it.
But I am still trying to tattoo this part, since 18 until now.
我同事们的确有试图阻止我，但是我仍然在尝试着，非要把这不可能变成可能。
We were an unbreakable team.
我们曾经是不可分割的团队。
坐着LRT到新加坡最角落的榜鹅和他们同出同入。
（现在想想真是精力充沛）
Everyday go to Punggol which located in the most corner of Singapore, for being with them.
(I had so much energy omg)
But there was things happened, we all joined different groups, and doing different things.
I did not have even a single little bit of thought to give up on art.
So I was meeting with a group of friends who always holding exhibitions in Singapore Sebastian.
世事总是难料，总有事件让我们各奔东西。
我没有任何一点点放弃做艺术的想法。
所以我加入了一群一直做小展览的朋友们。
玩艺术，或者骑行！
我的18岁。还是很阳光的。
只是没有太多对于未来的展望，活在当下，快乐，然后做对的事。
Art and bikes, that is my sunny 18.
Carpe diem, do right things.
当时没有可以好好记录这一切的平台。
现在我们有Steemit和有趣的人举办有趣的活动。
谢谢提供这个机会让我毫不做作的分享我的十八岁！哈哈哈。
By that time we have nowhere to share all these.
Thanx to Steemit and interesting people on Steemit who holding this activity.
@justyy Thanxxx!

You are super cute at 18, you look like you had a good team of people. I'd love to tag some actual skin someday. What would you sugest for someone wanting to ink skin traditionally? What are some tattoist beginner tips.
