So... I got a tattoo. And not just a little tattoo. A HUGE tattoo. A lovely tattoo. It will take some getting used to, this massive, even somewhat intimidating, piece of artwork on my back, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Here's why:
- Its concept and original art was contrived by yours truly
By no means do I dare to call myself an artist, but when I was younger I used to draw a lot (in times of boredom, like, in math class :D ). This piece was inspired by an old tattoo that I had gotten a couple years ago that I just did not feel was complete. It was tiny, for one, and it held no significance to me. This tiny little tattoo became the center of the blue flower, and the concept just spawned from there. Of course, Jeremy doctored it up and made it look a bit more professional.
My draft:
Jeremy's draft:
There are 3 flowers, one for each of my kids. Their respective flower has their first initial next to it and is shaded with their favorite color.
...The one and only Jeremy Finch, who for just starting out has shown incredible talent. One of the only reasons I had not already gotten a bigger tattoo was the inconvenience, and my severe particularity.. I needed to be sure that I trusted the person who would permanently scar me for life, (in the literal sense!) and, having known Jeremy for so long I knew he would do his best to make it what I wanted, and not what was easiest or most convenient for him (5 hours later!). I also know that I am now a walking advertisement for him, which I hope is beneficial for him in the long run.
And for those of you who are wondering...yes, it hurt. :)
