My best friend and I are going to Tokyo in a few months for a holiday and we’ve been casually discussing the idea of getting inked while we’re over there. We need to sit down and really hash out more ideas of what we’d like to get, but I think that’d be an excellent time and place to do it.

How I did it: Booked an appointment at Westside Tattoo with Stooks back in December - Westside's the best parlour in Brisbane, so a Saturday appointment took a couple of months. Stooks was a legend. A great experience. Possibly already planning #2. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Finally managed to convince myself it was necessary for my health and wellbeing, and I had some savings set aside. The savings WERE for my trip to Japan in September, but I'm earning enough money these days that I think I'll survive on the leftovers plus whatever else I can save between now and then. As an added bonus, I'll be able to take some beautiful photos while I'm over there, right? Read how I did it…
How I did it: I actually ended up getting new frames, too, for a couple of reasons. My old frames were pretty much busted. New frames were an exciting concept. And that was back at the beginning of July. 43T Update Fail. Read how I did it…

... and I want one! It will probably have to be a “happy birthday to me” present but I want one so that I can start using my 365 diary that my sister gave me for Christmas. That Frankie article was awesome.
