How I did it: I had been toying with the idea for months, as a way to start a new chapter in my life.  I was working in Sitka over the summer, and this tattoo parlor was RIGHT at the end of the bridge.  I have a friend who got tattooed there and he said they did amazing work, so I just did it, and am so glad that I did!

Lessons & tips:

• come in with a sketch
• BE SURE that you want this to be on your body indefinitely
• don't settle for their stencil if it isn't perfect on the day of your appointment (mine was too big, so they shrunk it)
• expect it to hurt, especially if there is shading and colors involved!
