Artichoke tattoo

i think to myself...since i'm doing some tattoos. why not save needles and do two at once!

this is my artichoke tattoo

"an artichoke?" you ask?

i'll explain...

whenever my family gets together for birthdays, holidays, special occasions in general...we allways eat artichokes!

the family loves them

so its kind of a symbol of my family...

so there you have it...tah dah!

its right next to Blinky [link] on the outside of my thigh

as for the actual tattooing...it was kinda tough...

number one, i hadnt tattooed at all since i got layed off from the shop... circa november '07 ish

and tattooing your own thigh is weird cuz you can only pull lines in certain angles, were as on other people you can turn yourself of them...

some of the lines are wobbly cuz of these facts...but i'll fix it

color coming as soon as it heals
