Yesterday was my tattoo appointment.

Firstly I think I should explain the nervousness I expressed in my video more thoroughly as to avoid confusion. With almost every single part of the development of my tattoo designs and modification projects I am a complete control freak. Due to this I’ve always loved the idea of coming across a custom drawn tattoo design that I think is gorgeous but not necessarily part of my overall project. It is this that I see as a sort of therapy; a temporary release from my anal retention and controlling side. This excellent design that I am going to get is an anchor that Alex drew and what is even better is that an anchor connects beautifully with my mermaid project. So while I love the design I was nervous because that little bit of control was taken away. I was nervous but they were positive nerves.

I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to get the anchor yesterday or an Oscar (fish). I have a list made up of the order I want to get my tattoos in and these two images are tied so I asked which one Alex would rather do that day and we went with the Oscar.

And my oh my is it gorgeous! Currently unfinished but it already looks absolutely amazing! Oscars almost look like fire is smoldering under their scales and this comes though in my tattoo. Once again I just couldn’t be happier!
