my sixth tattoo − 23 December, 2005

my sixth tattoo was also my first one to have any color! i had an idea for a design, and went to talk to jon sweet at uptown tattoo. i told him i wanted a sailor-jerry-style heart with 'MPLS' (i.e. minneapolis) in the banner. he said he'd been obsessed with valentines lately, so could he try working that in, too?

hell yes. i wish it was in a more visible spot so people could see it all the time, because i love it.
