Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “kittle tattoos” pop up everywhere, and honestly, I was kinda curious. I mean, cute little kitchen utensils inked on your skin? It’s different, I’ll give it that. So, I decided to dive in and, well, get one myself. Yeah, you heard that right.
First, I spent, like, a solid week just browsing through pictures. Pinterest, Instagram, you name it. I wanted to see all the different styles, sizes, placements… everything. I was overwhelmed, there are seriously a ton of options. Whisks, spatulas, rolling pins, even tiny little chef’s knives – people get creative!
I finally settled on a small, delicate whisk. I figured it was simple, kinda cute, and wouldn’t be too “in your face.” The design part was surprisingly tough. I thought I knew what I wanted, but then I saw, like, fifty different variations of a whisk tattoo. Some were super realistic, others were more cartoony. I ended up going with a sort of minimalist, line-art style.
Next up: finding an artist. This was important. I wasn’t about to let just anyone permanently mark my skin. I asked around, checked out online portfolios, and read a bunch of reviews. I finally found this one artist whose style I really liked – lots of fine lines and delicate work, perfect for what I had in mind.
I booked a consultation, which is basically just a chat where you talk about the design, placement, and price. The artist was super chill, and we tweaked the design a little bit to make sure it would fit perfectly where I wanted it – on my inner ankle. It sounded a little exposed place, I was little afraid, but it’s ok.
Then came the actual tattoo day. I’m not gonna lie, I was nervous. I’ve got a couple of other tattoos, but it’s always a little nerve-wracking. The artist prepped the area, put on the stencil, and then it was go time.
- The outlining: This was the most intense part, felt like a tiny little bee sting, over and over. But it was totally manageable.
- The shading: My design didn’t have much shading, just a few little details, so this part was quick.
- The cleanup: The artist wiped away the excess ink, cleaned the area, and bandaged it up.
And that was it! Honestly, the whole thing took less than an hour. It’s a little bit red and swollen right now, but I’m absolutely loving it. It’s exactly what I wanted – small, subtle, and kinda quirky. I keep catching myself looking at it, it’s just so darn cute!
I used a specail cream to protect it, hope it will looks good in next few weeks.
