My first TATTOO!

Upper right arm. The artist made her look a little more pink then purple, so I have to decide if I like it that way or want it darker. She looks quite cute either way, but I'm glad I have a week or so to think it over. (Since you can't really judge a tattoo until after it's healed.)

I always keep the money in my car, though, just in case.

It's just so frustrating that I have to go so far to get it, but it'll be worth it whenever I finally find the time to go.

Good luck with that! I wouldn't suggest keeping money in your car though, especially something like $100 or so, which is what a tattoo costs. Keep that money safe in a bank or somewhere in your room in a lockbox, not in your car! Just my own advice.

Oh and PB, it's awesome to hear that you have tattoos, I'm usually quite surprised that so many people have them and one would never know it! I too can conceal it easily enough with clothes if I have to, and yeah, especially for work. (Not that they mind much at work, especially a harmless little tattoo like that one. It's not a Nazi symbol or something.)

Yeah...I didn't believe everyone when they said it was addicting....because I thought the experience would be too painful and I'd never come back for another one. (I was going to deal with the pain because I wanted it that badly, though.) But wow, it was nothing. Really nothing. Of course, the arm could be a place that's far less sensitive...but it's like a hot pin scraping your skin, and is more annoying then anything else! (For those who are considering getting one, don't be nervous, like PB said, it's more relaxing in a strange way and a great tattoo artist who likes to chat makes it even better!)

Thanks everyone for your compliments.
