Me and My Tattoo: Mem Kutlay

Mem Kutlay, 18, Bexley

Why this design?

I eventually want a full Japanese sleeve, so this dragon is just the start of it.

I thought the dragon would be a good piece to start with because it looks great on its own, but will look even better when it's combined with other Japanese artwork in a full sleeve.

How much did it cost?

£160

Did it hurt?

It hurt, but it was definitely manageable.

The pain hasn't put me off getting more tattoos though.

What did your friends say?

They all really love it.

Have you got any more?

No, this was my first ever tattoo.

I will definitely be getting more though.

*Mem’s tattoo was done by Aaron Heaton at Demon Inkorporation in Bellegrove Road, Welling
