I have a tiny star on my rib cage and a bee on my foot. Yesterday I went and got 6 hearts all the way down my spine. One for each of my siblings. The bottom one is about 3 inches high and they get smaller as you go up. I love it! Post pictures soon :)

How I did it: I knew I'd be in Chicago this month and back in the spring I started researching the best shops and artists there. I found Insight Studios and originally I had in mind another piece and artist but it didn't work out. I'm glad for that. I ended up talking with Ryan and he was totally accommodating. When I walked into the shop, he already had the script drawn out and was ready to place it - it was perfect. He started and let me know that if… Read how I did it…
How I did it: i consulted with artists I know and like, and dove in. i know tattoos are pretty pedestrian nowadays and everyone has one (some).my tattoos are hideable for work. ( got piercings too.) I really don't show them off to anyone except my girlfriend. i didn't need them to feel sexy, but they do anyway. they are not all lovely. one is quite scary, but i felt certain that a visually disturbing tattoo made sens… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got my anchor tattoo with Edi, we went to Yankee first, and they were kinda bitchy, so we went to body art, which is normally not a good call, but we talked to Phred, and he was really chill and they redrew Edi's design, and it looked really good. So Edi went first, and then I got mine. Phred was making jokes the whole time, and I didn't even feel it at all. Now I just have to take care of it. Read how I did it…

A couple Saturdays ago, I went into Slave to the Needle in Ballard to have a consultation with Erika, an artist who specializes in cover ups. She was super nice and very confident that she would be able to give me the tattoo that I want.
I told her what I want and she says that she’ll have it drawn up by the 15th. That’s when I’ll go in to see her next and we’ll talk about the art, what I do and don’t like about it.
THEN comes my tattoo. I’m so excited!

I already have one tattoo, on my left hip, of the Aquarius symbol and three stars. I made the mistake of rushing into it, getting it done unprofessionally by my best friend’s boyfriend, and not really looking to see if I liked the placement of it or anything. So now I’m stuck with this tattoo. . .but I’m not! I’m having a consultation with a tattoo artist who specializes in coverups and I’m going to have a beautiful tattoo in a few short months.
palegreenstars09 is platitudinous.
i got my first tattoo as my eighteenth birthday present. a hello kitty with a heart shaped peace sign on my left shoulder blade. not too big, not hard to cover.
THIS time, i have decided on my second one. down my left side, i want this quote in cursive:
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
- Mae West
I don’t know when, but this will happen.

I am going through a hella time right now and I want to sidestep from completing the tattoo I am working on getting completed and get a tattoo I already have pre-planned/in the works of a phoenix rising out of the flames/ashes. I need it as inspiration!
