Tattoo #5

I got my fifth - and probably final - tattoo on Sunday.

Ok, this one hurt. Still does, actually. The area I chose seemed to be extremely sensitive and parts of the tattoo required lots of detail and shading.

There is an excitement about getting a tattoo. When you have a good artist, he is excited about it too and offers some creative advice.
The adrenaline starts pumping while the tattooing process is going on and lasts well after it's over.

While I was having it done, I decided that this is probably my last. I'm by no means a heavily tattooed person; I have 4 relatively small tattoos. This last one is bigger but not huge. But I've run out of places on my body that I feel are appropriate for my tattoos. Ankles, back of the neck hip, thigh. I won't do the lower back like SO many women do mostly because I don't wear low rise jeans that show off that kind of tattoo.

However, I never say never because that is always that chance that I'll run across something I really like or reach some milestone or suffer an event that will necessitate a permanent memorial.

I've still got LOTS of skin!
