Get a tattoo

a picture of the tattoo I had done a few weeks ago. It is no longer red or sore so it looks like it should. It was a bit bigger than I anticipated but now I feel that that is not such a bad thing. If you are going to do something like this, you need to do it well. No half measures, so to speak. :)

Tooomorrow! I love you! Toooomorrow!

Thing is that the tattoo guy I like has his studio in Copenhagen while I live in Amsterdam. That complicates matters a little, especially since he is really popular and booked up most of the time. So I need to decide when to go etc. In a way it becomes a money issue as well because apart from the actual tattoo, I also need to buy a ticket and possibly accommodation. Hmmmm.

But at least design and artist and location of tat on body have been picked out! :)

I would really like this. All I need to do is overcome some issues.

Need to take into account the southward slide of body parts as one ages. Also, need to find the right spot and design. But I think I will get one. Probably when the opportunity arises.

I’m looking for a small turtle design to put on my hip or shoulder. It should be recognisable and not too large. There are a gazillion designs to be found on the internet but I haven’t found the right one yet. Any tips?

And: how do you know a good tattoo shop? I don’t want to screw up on this.

I was thinking of getting a small turtle but I can’t seem to find a good design. I am a bit embarrassed about asking someone to make a design for me and that I would than have it tattood even if I did not like it that much because that person would have gone to all that trouble for me. You know?
