How to get another tattoo
It made me 
"It took me 13 years for this particular ink because it was my daughters bday and was part of a coming of age ritual."
How I did it: She got the stencil, I got the needle. Since she was born under Hyakutake in March 1996 I chose a stylized comet we came up with and had it drilled on my ankle. Each of us has left our mark on the other, though hers is latent now.
We drew a design and had our artist clean it up and make a few stencils. I made mine permanent and she took markers to hers. She also had some henna ink on it for a little while but there isn't anything on it now. She has one more stencil she is saving for her 18th bday.
