Right now I am moderately obsessed with the idea of getting a big, thick trunked tree tattooed on my right side.
I currently have one of Picasso’s line drawings of a dove tattooed on my left arm. At work a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to my coworkers about tattoos they wanted to get, and they asked me if I wanted to get another tattoo. I said I really didn’t…and then I thought to myself (and this is how it always starts!), “if I did get another tattoo…I would get a tree.” The more I thought about it and talked about it, the more I realized how much I really do want not just another tattoo, but a tree tattoo on my side.
I need to give myself sometime to think about it…at least 6 months if not a year or two. I need to make sure this is really something I want to have on me for the rest of my life. And I kind of need to save up a bunch of money for getting another tattoo.
I would like to go to Slave to the Needle in Ballard. They are nationally known as a really good tattoo shop, and they are located maybe 10 blocks from my house.
I am very much just in the initial idea phase of getting another tattoo and need some time to let the idea sit and percolate a little before I take any major actions. I might stop by Slave to the Needle soon and start by getting an estimate so I can have a general idea of how much money I would have to have saved before I could get it. But there is a lot of time to do that…
