In a post I did a bit ago, Rai noticed my tattoo peeking out of my shoes (as it frequently does) and wanted to see a close up, so I thought I'd do a post with a few pictures.
I've had it since the summer after my senior year of high school (2007). I actually got it done in two parts, shown below. I had been wanting to get something for a while, and my best friend Lauryn was also wanting to get one, so she ended up convincing me to get an appointment with her. You can see my hesitation... I'm actually not at ALL a fan of needles, so quite frankly everyone was a little surprised when I ended up going through with it. did the design of the first part myself... it's an Aries sign and an A (for Alex...).
I've always been interested in Astrology, not so much that I completely believe in it, but just find it fascinating. I have also always felt that the typical characteristics of an Aries REALLY represent me to the T (both good and bad), and figured that would not be anything that would ever change.
(You all are getting this rarely seen pictures of me in the process of the tattoo... which are OH SO attractive. Haha)
I went and got the background negative shooting stars added later when I went to get the first part touched up. My dad, who went with me to get the first part, wasn't so happy about THAT little addition... and worried over my ability to get a job in the future with such a prominent display. Honestly though, if you're not going to hire me because of a tattoo on my INNER ankle, then I probably don't want to work for you anyways!!
I think that next will be a "family tattoo" with my dad and brother, once he turns 18 in December. I still need to work on the design of that, and think of a good discrete place to put it.
