Tattoos

      Getting ready to have another tattoo done. I am torn about what to get this time. I have a few different ones I am considering I guess I will draw and play around with those ideas until I find exactly what I am wanting.. Or as my DH calls it my artist crap. And it's not as mean as it sounds in writing, he says it all lighthearted with a smile and everything. He likes my artist crap, he thinks I am good at it. But I need to figure out the general amount of time it will take to do my tattoo so I can schedule my appointment and then I should have a few months to fine tune it. The tattoo artist that we are going to (DH is wanting to finally get his back tattoo) books months out, he is the best in the area. There are only two tattoo artist I will go to one is him and the other is the owner of another one of the tattoo shops in TC. DH will only go to him. The price for him is pretty much by amount of time. The other one she does it based on size, time and details. Which I guess the other two do factor into time. I know not all people like tattoos and a lot of people think they are tacky. I personally am okay with tattoos as long as they fit the person wearing them. Obviously with my personality I won't be getting gorey bloody evil looking tattoos, it just doesn't fit my personality. Now if I did that would be okay.
      I being into the artsy crap (per DH) I like to draw my own. I do look at photos of other peoples tattoos and just photos and nature in general to come up with ideas. And then when I draw them I just know if it's what I want on my body. It's like a wedding dress, you go wedding dress shopping and when you try on the one you know it's the one you want. No matter how many other dresses you try on after it you just keep coming back to it. For me tattoos are like that. If I draw it with the thought of a tattoo in mind and I keep coming back to it over and over again I know that's the tattoo I want. The first tattoo I got I drew it a few years before I got it and I waited until I was 19 and then I got it. I figured if I wanted it after two years I was probably safe in saying I was okay with it being on my body for the rest of my life. I am 26 right now and I still love it. So I've had it for 7 years and if I had it to do over again I would get the tattoo again.  So wish me luck. Hopefully I will figure out which one I want to get. :o)
