I got most of my new tattoo done on Thursday! It's a cheetah design all over my shoulders and coming down a little bit on my back. It's to cover up the scars I have on my shoulders, which you know about if you've been coming here for a long time. I can finally wear anything that I want to! You have no idea how awesome it was to go shopping, and for the first time, not have to walk around saying "I can't wear that, that's cute, but I can't wear it". So stoked about having the rest of it done, which will be in probably a couple of weeks or maybe a little less.

He did the outline first, then the coloring in of the spots, and we're going to put some orangy rust color around the spots, to match the color of a cheetah. It's not going to be solid color all over my shoulders, just coming out a little bit from the spots themselves. I've always said that with the spots that I had (my scars) always felt like a cheetah or leopard, so I finally decided to just cover up the spots with some cat spots! Here's a quick snap of it, for those who are curious:



I know, it's a little extreme, but if you would have seen what it looked like with the little scars before- you'd understand. I haven't been able to wear a bathing suit or any cute shirts since I was 14, and now I finally can, before it's too late for me to be able to wear shit like that anymore. This tattoo cost me a shit ton, but it was well worth it. Sorry about my hair, it's a little fubar at the moment, it's not fixed.

I also changed my wishlist, to a place with cool geek stuff.
