I mildly electrocuted myself. No, this was not the first time I had worked with electricity and the breakers were labeled incorrectly (fun!). And yes, it will be the last time I fix anything like that.

How I did it: When I saw someone with a tattoo I liked the look of, I asked who did it. Several of the floral kinda old school styled ones I liked ended up being from the same woman, so I finally found where she was working at. Ended up really liking her, and her work, and got an appt with her a couple weeks later.I wasn't really trying to get them done asap, so I took my time finding photo examples of what I wanted. Different designs, styles, colors, … Read how I did it…
I think this is more of a balance of living for myself and still being able to take care of what I need to take care of for everyone else. I’ve always wanted to be able to run off and do whatever I want to do, be by myself and for myself. But it’s just not in my nature.
I consider myself fairly balanced at this point. So I’m finally done.
