fresh ink.

Today, my sister and I took a trip out to Pennsylvania to get tattoos; my third and her fifth.  It was my first large, detailed design and I was a little nervous going into it but I am so happy with how it turned out.  The image came from a botanical print book my father bought me for Christmas; it is a wild French rose.  I love wildflowers, a constant reminder that beauty can be found in unexpected places.  My new epidermal embellishment, conspicuously displayed on my left forearm, will hopefully serve as a daily encouragement, urging me to look for the beautiful things that might not get their proper recognition.  I cannot wait to see what they think at school.
