"I was at a tattoo convention center to get two tattoos. The dream starts after I’d just got my first tattoo, a string with stars dangling from it wrapped around my ankle/lower leg area. I remember feeling very regretful about it and the amount of money I had spent to get it even though I thought the design was basic but pretty cool. Afterwards I headed to this guy’s booth setup to get a stunning tattoo of Cerberus just above my existing bat one. I remember the tattoo artist looked very distinct, he was bald with a bunch of tattoos and piercings on his face with round, nerdy glasses on. He was super nice! I felt very good about this tattoo, I loved the design and I felt like my money was well spent!"
