I finally did it, I got my first tattoo. It is, in case you’re wondering, the constellation Scorpius.
Why Scorpius? Because I’m a Scorpio, but everyone seems to get the “M” symbol or a scorpion, so I wanted to be different (funny that).
Did it hurt? Oh yeah. But not as much as I feared. The stars were okay, the lines hurt (they are gray actually).
Is this going to be my first and last tattoo? Nope, already thinking about my next one (sorry Mom).
I have a Flickr set going for my first tattoo, I’ll update with a semi-healed version soon.
