And honestly \u2013 thank goodness, because looking back at my teenage ideas, I would probably have already removed them, and the results of removal wouldn&#8217;t have been satisfying anyway. Over the past few years, I&#8217;ve observed my aesthetic making a complete 180-degree shift. My body is a temple (yes, I know how that sounds), one I take care of both inside and out, so whatever I put on my skin must be thoughtful and planned. <\/p>\n<p>For my 30th birthday, I gave myself a tattoo that held great meaning for me. The inspiration came when I was still living in Warsaw and became friends with my roommates at an apartment on Unii Lubelskiej. We spent almost every evening together, and one day,<span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; background-color: var(--theme-palette-color-4); color: var(--theme-text-color); letter-spacing: var(--theme-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--theme-text-transform);\"> Kinga suggested showing us \u2014 two Patryks \u2014 something special.

However, I didn\u2019t want to rush the decision; I was waiting for an idea that would truly strike me.<\/p>\n<p>A year ago, I came across a tattoo that was the perfect main inspiration. Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t find either the tattoo artist or the person who had it (or maybe I was just too lazy). So, I created a presentation with my concept to start looking for a tattoo artist specializing in this style. It turned out that sorting through tattoo studios in Thailand was a real hassle. I asked in Facebook groups, searched on Google Maps, but my patience quickly ran out. Finally, I scheduled an appointment with a tattoo artist on Koh Phangan, recommended by a friend, even though he specialized in a completely different style. I don\u2019t know why I went there, as it made no sense. After three minutes of conversation, the artist said that he doesn\u2019t do such tattoos \u2014 it\u2019s not his style. So I sat there and thought: \u201cWhy did I send you the presentation and come to this meeting when you could have told me this during our conversation on Instagram?!\u201d.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<style id=\"core-f6fe601-core-block-supports-inline-css\"><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d31fae elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d31fae\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54286c5\" data-id=\"54286c5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3f94d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3f94d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>However, it turned out that there was a purpose behind it.
