are shocked by my tattoos and every time you see my tattoos you ask me what the story is behind them which one hurt the most so I thought for today's video I want to sit down do my makeup in a very sort of like edgy artwork sort of way to kind of mimic tattoos but not really mimic tattoos but also kind of trying to mimic tattoos with and I just want to take you back to what the tattoo stand for what tmean to me and also in this video I am getting a brand new tattoo as well so I get to do makeup I get to tell my story and I get to show you my brand new tattoo you as my tattoo artist is applying it to me so if you're excited about this then I am even more excited about it and let's go to the intro song alright so let's get this tattoo face started before I start I do want to let you know that this is heavily inspired by Sonia Miro on Instagram an absolutely incredible artist and she does a lot of graphic eyeliner looks and just imitates bomb so I'm trying to get near her level today all right so before I start telling you about my favorite tattoos I am first gonna prime using the Hooda Beauty nymph and I am in the color luna now this is supposed to go on your legs to give you a beautiful shine but this is so waterproof sweat proof and budge proof that it makes for an incredible primer make sure you stay tuned towards the end of this video for a special giveaway for foundation I'm using the Natasha Danone a transfer mat foundation in the color 5n so a lot of people ask me what my first tattoo was that I got and it's this one right here which says never give up I was 17 years old when I got it the reason why I got it and specifically on that spot too is because I wanted to remind myself every day where I came from how hard I had to work for it and no matter how many times I thought about giving up that was never an option I had to fight for myself and survive and that battle just inspired me to get never give up written on my arm so I would see it every single day and I wanted a pretty big – so I would never forget or miss out on it now looking back a lot of people are like do you regret getting that as your first tattoo and absolutely not that tattoo meant so much to me and it stood for so much in my life you know I got bullied like crazy as a kid and to be able to grow from that and learn from that and use it in my day to day life as a grown up now it just it means so much to me and I never want to forget to never give up you know for a concealer I am trying to hood a beauty overachiever concealer and I am taking the color marshmallow now what happens for a lot of people and that happened for me too is right after you get your first one the tattoo bug kind of creeps into your body and all you think about is getting more tattoos and it happened for me too I think like a year later like half of a year later I was already thinking about my my next one and so I did on the other arm same spot same script same size I got the text don't waste your life hiding and that was another reminder for me how far I had come how much personal growth I went through you know when I was younger I would always be a silent little Wallflower not saying much because I was so scared that if I said something and it was the wrong thing to say I would get hated on or I would get bullied again like you might not believe it but I used to be such a shy silent girl like when you look at how vocal I am nowadays it's like what what are you even talking about don't waste your life hiding to me means be your true self and don't let anybody stop you and quickly after that I got the little heartbeat connected to a heart on the side of my wrist and this stands for a new life you can tell I was a very moody seventeen year old so for me when I started my youtube channel I truly started seeing the person who I always wanted to be which was a strong woman who knew what she was doing and inspired along the way and that is something I always wanted to embody and YouTube really helped me looking at myself in a way I've never been able to and it taught me so much so much about myself alright so I'm gonna go off camera for a little bit and do my brows and while I'm doing that I'm taking you to one of my favorite tattoo studios in Amsterdam we're in a car all right so my tattoo artist today is gonna be nakita bow she's one of my favorite Dutch artists here in Holland duh and she recently did a finger tattoo on my nail artist which i think is so good it's a little flame and tput it on the middle finger and I am perfect be like flaming the haters oh this is Nikita my queen already already already already won a might well my favorite movie Silence of the Lambs I guess I guess you know where I'm going with this yeah agree I'm sticking Carey all right before I do anything to the eyes first I have to Optimus Prime all right so I'm gonna take a little bit of a soft contour color and start buffing that into the crease I want the main focus of the look to be the liner and the neon pops but I do want that little bit of definition in my crease because I have hooded eyelids and then having that a little bit of definition is just gonna make my life a happier life honestly if you ask me in what order I got my tattoos I can't remember because I got too many in such a short period of time that everything just kind of happened but I do want to talk about my favorites so one of my favorites it definitely is the little eyelashes on the top of my wrist and I got this because I saw Priscilla Oh No Rihanna's makeup artist she's been on my channel before I saw her have like these amazing lashes on the exact same spot and honestly I texted her I was like Priscilla I freaking adore that tattoo are you okay if I get it – of course I'm gonna tweak it a little bit but are you okay with me getting essentially the same thing and she loved it I loved it and I guess I go week after I was that guess who got it so I adore the little eyelashes before Dillon and I would start dating when I was still single a lot of men were like is that a mustache on your wrist of course twere joking that was like their way of saying hi to me that was like their way of breaking the ice and usually after that I'd always be like don't touch the ice the ice is fine leave the ice for it is goodbye now I hope so most of the time don't even see it because I wear my watch over it so every time I take my watch off and my bracelets off I'm like oh you're back now when we move up a little bit we see my four animals and I think these along wit
