Finding a tattoo artist you really like can be very difficult, so once you find one you really like, you’ll happily go out of your way to see them.
Honestly, if something is left on your body forever, you should have complete confidence in the person who is going to do it.
From now on, travel between cities does not seem to be completely ruled out.
But Katy Perry took things to a whole other level.
In fact, the singer paid a tattoo artist to fly to Las Vegas so they could do a tattoo session together.
When you’re a celebrity, you don’t go to your tattoo artist, your tattoo artist comes to you.
Tattoo artist Liz Kim, 31, usually resides in Los Angeles, California, but posted on her Instagram how she flew to Las Vegas for Perry’s end-of-residency party at Resorts World Las Vegas.
Kim didn’t just tattoo the singer; her team members also wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate the experience.
She said: “Katy Perry and her team provided me with some reference photos for the design. They especially wanted a mushroom as it is a strong theme for her residence and also makes for a beautiful tattoo!”
The video also shows several mushroom tattoos the employees had, from their wrists to behind their ears.
Kim flew out with her friend and fellow tattoo artist Shannon Elliott and they worked on getting the tattoos done together.
She said: “It’s not every day you get flown out somewhere to get tattooed by so many people, let alone superstars and people who help run the show.”
In her own post, Perry explained that when she tours, it’s “traditional” and “a bit of a ritual” for her to invite a tattoo artist.
Designs are often created to somehow reflect the character of the show and give the people who worked on the show something to remember it by.
Perry’s husband, Orlando Bloom, is also no stranger to getting a tattoo to commemorate an important role or tour. Bloom was among the members of Peter Jackson’s Fellowship of the Ring. Lord of the Rings.
He and other members of the community, apart from John Rhys-Davies, all had the word “Nine” tattooed in the fictional Tengwar script in memory of them.
