getting a new tattoo

[mugsy]

fuck im stoked. its not really in my budget at the moment but i couldnt say no. i've been sittin on two designs for over a year. one of them has to wait till fall\winter as it will take a couple of sittings and its on my back and i dont wanna have to stay away from the sun shine, but im gettin a peice done on my right ribcage of a celtic shield i designed with some celtic doves above it. all just in thin black outline as its also a work in progress peice, but i dont plan to add to it for awhile.

holy shit im excited.
1 week away!

nice! that's awesome... I would love to get a tattoo done, but I can't afford it (what with going to school fulltime) and Im not 100% sure of what I want... and i dont wanna get something that I'll regret later in life... I've seen some BAD tattys that I'm sure the person is gonna get removed/covered up in later years... but, not to try to scare you, lol. I think tattys look totally hot ;)

^ will do.

asheai - its my third tattoo so its why ive sat on the designs for so long, and like you already know, this is one of the better ways of choosing a tattoo. take your time, that tattoo will be with you forever.

this one that im getting is just the beginning of a "remembering" tattoo. (i dont like the word memorial - seems negative) as things progress for the dad (who im getting it for) so will the tattoo. right now, he's still my biggest protector, and (as cheesey as it may sound) the type of cancer he has is genetic, and i;ve already been through two pretty serious situations with doctors and the "c" word, so i feel i could use some extra help in the protection of my guts part. plus with ongoing ailments for 6 months, it gives me something thats painful to look forward to. im way more excited about this one then the other two.
the fourth one im gettin in fall is a design i did of two koi fish - totally dig the story of jumpin up the waterfall to become a dragon. that and i put them into a ying-yang for some centering. going to measure myself up and get it directly in the center of my body on my back. i'm pretty excited about it too. attatched is the image of it.

for the tattoo comin up - i'll save showin that off till its on the skin.
