I am nervous about my first tattoo...

I have officially booked my first tattoo appointment! It's less than two weeks from now!

That tattoo is a "sister" tattoo of my sister's cat and my cat (so just two cats.) I love these two cats, the first that belong to us and not the family, and I love my sister. I have also wanted a tattoo for a long time.

However, with the appointment officially booked, I'm growing nervous.

I will never not be tattooed again! Is it dumb to get cats as a tattoo? When they die in 20 years, will the mourning process be worse cause they're on my body? Will I hate in 30 years? Where do I put it on my arm? (I told my artist that I don't know where to put it and they said they'd help.)

So, my question for you is: Did you have pre-first tattoo nerves and how did you feel afterwards?
