Got Ink? **DU WARNING**

[ladywhipple02]

This is my first tat, on the outside of my left thigh (sorry for the blurriness, camera phone):

(I'm trying to post a pic, but I'm getting so frustrated with my computer I might just chuck it out the window!!!!)

I know it doesn't look like much, and the lines are uneven and all, but this little tat means more to me than anything. I got it while I was in Prague, CZ. I had been living in country for a month, studying the language, and a group of us decided to get pierced/tattooed together to commemorate our time there. I have my dragon, and I wouldn't trade him, or those experiences for anything in the world.

I have, however, been thinking of ways to incorporate him into a larger piece... my best friend Jenn (who travelled and studied with me in Eastern Europe---she got pierced in Prague---and who has travelled and studied in Mexico with me) and I have decided to get compass roses together, because we're always travelling together. So, I've decided to make him the center of the rose... I'll post a new pic when he's done... I think it's going to look sweet!

Oh, and here's my second one (again, taken with a cell phone, in a bar, lol):



This one was ALSO gotten with my best buddy Jenn, lol. It means Free/Independent. It's my reminder that no one can ever keep me down, that life is flexible and ever changing, and I am free to make my own choices.

I think I like black ink... I've pretty well decided that all future tats, including the upcoming compass rose in March, are going to be done in black and black shading...
