Thanks for the compliment! Ribcage tattoos hurt quite a bit but you forget the pain a day later and the results are worth it. As for what it says: "always ready."

I have two tats. My first one (that I don't have a pic of) I got when I was 15. It's around my belly button. It's a butterfly at the bottom, with tribal going around to the top, and a bumble bee at the very top. It took an hour and a half!

My second I got on my 18th birthday. It's a scorpion (because I'm a scorpio) and I really am exactly how they describe scorpios. Also, it has a drop of blood off the tail for everything I had gone through between ages 14 and 18. It was very hard for me.

Here's a pic.

(It's been touched up since then, someone new colored it in that time for practice, and he had to fix it a bit. I don't have new pics.) I always let people practice on me, because I know how important it is to get practice, even when it's something this major.

I want another tat that has something to do with my grandfather, Eli. He loved me so much and I did everything with him, but he died when I was young. I didn't even cry because I didn't think I would NEVER see him again. I feel like I never got to tell him how much I really love him and how important he is to me.

use vitamin E ointment or neosporin

DO NOT use^ they will dry out your skin and promote scabbing which will cause the ink to pull out! Don't freak out but it will peel a little in about a week (just a top layer of skin). Congratulations on your first tattoo! Great design choice I love it!

"Tattoo Goo" is AWESOME! Helps the healing and makes the itch not as annoying! PLUS, it won't dry out the skin. Lots of artists in this area (and I as a user) swear by it. Little more costly than just vaseline (or whatever ) but MUCH better for new tatts.

Aquaphor is where it's at... Wash with soap, and apply Aquaphor, it will never scab and heal so nicely. Plus it's fun to say.... Aqua... FOOORRRR
