Eeeeeeeee I'm so happy!! This video is not sponsored at all, I just adore the team at little utopia in Leeston and have now been tattooed by 3 out of 4 of them, including my giant stomach piece. Little Utopia

Shout out to Inca for tattooing my stomach last time while I'm yapping and laughing, HOW do you do it???

It's so important to feel comfortable during tattoo sessions and they are just so incredibly lovely and amazing at what they do, i always have the best time and feel so at ease in their capable hands.

Cannot believe I got 6 tattoos in one 3 hour session, holey moley. I absolutely love them all, some of these I've had my eye on for the longest times. Thanks to miss tea for naming the little creatures Alfonso and Craig.

At the time of posting this Miss Tea did say she had some spaces left in august for the $250 flash deal so hit her uppppp!!
