Hearing your answer made me a bit more sure of my decisions. Honestly I have already tattooed myself...lets...see....four times. Recently I had getting some slack about my decisions to have done so even though the out come was satisfy for me. In fact I have a few pics of my own work on my page, if you'd like to check them out and let me know how I did I would appreciate the gesture.
Your right it is a learning experience!
I love what I've done on myself and am very proud to show it off.
