My tatoo


Feb. 29 is a day to be celebrated.  Not only does it come once ever four years, but it was also the day I got my tattoo.  I have been wanting this tattoo for a very long time and made my appointment about a month ago.  As the days approached tattoo day, I lost sleep with excitement and nervousness but when I walked into the shop all doubt was gone.  My tattoo artist worked very well with me and drew up exactly what I wanted.  The process took about 4 hrs and was a total adrenaline rush! I was completely exhausted afterward as well as excited and satisfied.  The names in the cloud represent my family- they are my foundation and biggest support.  The angel then depicts me and the stars are my future and future endeavors.  However, if you ask my friends that were with me, they are the stars above, since they got to pick the colors.  Without my family and friends, I would be lost.  Although I am a strong and independent individual, I still rely on their support to encourage me through the hard times and share the good times.  My family is most important to me and feel so proud that I can wear their names on me forever!

Thats a pretty thoughtful tattoo. I'm glad you didn't go with the cliche and get some tribal tattoo, or something similar. Where did you get your tattoo? Do you have other tattoo's or is this your first one? I think it's nice that your family means so much to you.
