Tattoo

I still can't believe that I got a tattoo - or two for that matter. I remember I used to think that I'd never get a tattoo because I'd never be able to decide on a design and since it would be on my body permanently then I'd never do it. Amazing to me, especially because the more and more I think about it the more and more I want another one!

I mean, yes - it hurt. It hurt A LOT. I'd have to say that it hurt more than my labor/delivery pains. At one point it felt like my skin was on FIRE and I'm going to tick my vote to say that shading hurts more than outlining. However, like my labor/delivery pains it was short bursts of pain and as long as I keep the design small then I know it could be bearable and the results are great.

It was funny because when he was placing the stencil on my wrists, he was going to have the panda facing out (head towards body and feet towards hand) and I stopped him. He said, "Oh, okay - usually the design faces out" and I told him flat out, "These are for me, ALL for me." Trying to show them to other people I can see why people have the designs facing out - but once I've shown it to everyone then they're forever upside down to ME. No fun.

Anyhow, I'm still amazed :)

Well, TWO tattoos to be exact :)

These pictures aren't the best - but what you're looking at is a panda sitting with his back to you sipping a soda from a tall cup with a straw.

Happy 26th birthday to ME!

I think I've found my owl tattoos! However, I'm not sure because I don't know how they'll translate as a tattoo. But I'm pretty sure these are the general style, shape & size I want so all I have to do is find an artist now:

The grey one will be on my left wrist and the green one on my right! I'm still interested in a panda one too. Not sure if I know where I want to put it - so that might be a 27th birthday thing :) Here's what I was considering though:

So, the more and more I look around for a good owl image for my tattoo, the more and more I'm not sure if owls is what I want to do. I love the look of owls, yes - but only some. I've realized after looking through a LOT of images that there are some kinds of owls I do not want for a tattoo.

Plus, I ran across a slew of panda images that I was in love with. So now I'm not sure what I want to do... Below are some images I'm considering.
