I have one tattoo out of the many I want. I’ll probably be getting one of the smaller ones that I want, since I don’t think I’ll be able to afford any of the large ones before December 31st.

How I did it: With a camera. ;P That's really about all I can say! I take lots of pictures... it just happens. Um, yea. Having a new phone with a 5mp camera helped, too. Read how I did it…
In the foreseeable future I don’t see this happening. I just spent 3 weeks in a behavioral health center due to depression, anxiety and insomnia. I wasn’t taking medication for my depression, which was complicating my anxiety and panic attacks. So for the time being I’m more than willing to take a few pills in order to not feel like complete shit and not dig another deep hole for myself by not being able to sleep and therefore function.
I say “not worth it” because of the way I lost it. 3 weeks of basically no REM sleep due to constant anxiety and panic attacks? Yea, you bet I lost 10 pounds. But I’d rather have stayed stable and kept the 10 pounds than to go through that hell again. And of course I gained it all back. :P
