Nashville Ink
tonight, I and 3 of my cohorts, now tattoo sisters, (who will remain nameless unless they choose to name themselves) went to Lone Wolf Tattoo and got ourselves inked. it was the best birthday present I have ever bought myself and I can't wait til all the colors fully come in. here's the "just after inking" photo:

I love it. It means something to me. It's exactly what I've always wanted.
it's still a bit surreal. i have a tattoo. =)
