Let me paint you a picture. May 19th, 2015. I board a red-eye flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport to London Heathrow. I land in a country I have literally only dreamt about and seen on TV. The next three months are spent learning about British ales in a multitude of pubs, strolling across Westminster Bridge with the Houses of Parliament’s nighttime reflection rippling in the Thames, and making friendships that span cities, states, countries and continents. While in London, I wanted a tattoo but never felt brave enough. Two years later and I still regret my inaction.
With the regret fresh on my mind, I knew I was going to get a tattoo on my trip to Australia and I must say, it’s been a month since I got my first ink and I love it more every day. Here’s the process I went through for planning my tattoo and advice I have for anyone else who is knew to the tattoo world.
My journey to get to Australia was a long one. I took a train from Windsor to Toronto, spent a night in Toronto and then set out for the airport. The flight from Toronto to LAX was five hours and then I had to kill 10 hours at LAX. From LAX to Melbourne, it was a 16 hour flight.
I tried my best to pack essential items in my carry-on suitcase so that I would be comfortable on my long journey. Here is what I did well and what I missed out on...
Before embarking on my flights to Melbourne, Australia, I really wanted to start out in the right adventurous mood. I was flying out of Toronto Pearson International Airport and decided to make a trip out of it. I only had seven hours to explore but they were fun!
I've worn glasses for about half of my life. I've seen seen concerts, London, Scotland, Paris, Walt Disney World and countless other things through them! It's been years since I've gotten a new pair of frames and so I decided now was the perfect time. My newest pair are handmade from a British brand called TD Tom Davies.
