We're loving Victoria's Tattoos

Victoria Jane Lynch 19, Aberdeen Scotland Freelance makeup artist @vvictoriajane

My first tattoo I got was a shaded black and grey rose, my favourite flower of all. I knew as my first one I wanted something that meant something to me, something I thought was beautiful.

It did happen quite quickly. I went straight from a rose on my wrist to getting my whole hand and up a quarter of my arm covered in a henna design. I wanted something unique and feminine.

I have thought of a few myself. But the ideas for my tattoos are either from online, or my tattooist has changed them around to make it my own, or has helped me pick which I am so so grateful for.

It is pretty hard to pick which one is my favourite so I’d have to say it’s between my snake, my neck or my “love myself” tattoo.

I’ve never had a bad reaction to my tattoos that I know of. I post pics daily of me with my tattoos shown and haven’t received any negativity about them, but either way I adore them in the end.

My latest tattoo was along my collar bones and the words 'stand out' in Braille. After getting my chest covered in two big pieces I knew I wanted something to even out the blank space.

Kat Von D has some incredible work which I’ve seen on other people I follow online but apart from her, the only artist I love is my own tattooist, Keith Bonner.

Probably when I got the tattoo “love myself” on my chest. The tattooist doesn’t even know about this but the word was actually supposed to say “love yourself”.
