pen, ink and skin



So yeah, got my first tattoo last weekend!! I thought it would be cool to show my drawing too, and the translation of it to skin. I have always wanted one and never could figure out what I would be okay with for forever, until now. I had to wait for it to heal a bit to share.
Basically, I drew this crane to remind me to have fun and live my life, like the skydive event. It reminds me not to fear the little things, that I jumped out of an airplane, so nothing can be that scary. The drawing is sort of how felt too-like I was flying and it felt very epic. But man, getting a tattoo on your back hurts like hell!! I have never gotten hurt really bad, so I had never experienced that level of pain- but it was totally worth it. Scott has a full sleeve, so he got a kick out of watching me go through it for the first time.
