Last nite on the phone with my Dad, i talked about his Tattoo and asked him about it. I’ve been fascinated with them ever since i was a youngling. I mean, hey if there’s one thing my Dad can’t say no to, its a tattoo right? I still don’t know what to get. Today while in the city, i visited 2 tattoo parlors to get an idea of the cost and procedure. One of the 4 tattoo artist i met today, Lindsay, was really so helpful, we got talking she told me that i should really think about what i want and do my homework. So it was really weird for me cause today i actually went up to random people and ask them about their tattoos. I’ve also taken photos of some of my faves. I’ll be posting them once i feel like i’ve collected enough. So watch this space….
