I can't post a picture of it right now because Typepad is acting strange, but I'll add one here as soon as it lets me. I still can't believe I did it. I went with a friend who also got her nose pierced at the time. I'm glad I did it. I think it's true what they say about tattoos being addictive; I already want two more.















no way! awesome.

I know, right?
It's nothing crazy. It totally fits me. It's a West African symbol--Sankofa. It symbolizes the importance of learning from your past and not repeating the same mistakes. I'm on a journey.:)

I just learned something. Looked up Sankofa on Google. Thanks.
Happy Tattoo to you.

A tattoo? Who, What, When, Where, How and Why?

I want to get one this summer. How painful was it to get there?

I like it!
I forgot to ask- what shop did you go to, was it in Austin?

Thanks, y'all!
@Tuckergurl-It was only a nagging pain while he did it. Right when I felt like I wanted to say "ouch", it was over. It took less than 10 minutes to do. It burned for like 5 minutes after is was over and then it felt like nothing ever happened.
@Soulfull-Thanks for stopping by. :)
@Jennifer- I got it in Dallas at this place called Obscurities.

They are addictive but I've resisted the urge of getting another one by just remembering all the pain I went through for my first.
Congrats! Rock On :-)

It's so cool! My first thought was oh hells yeah that had to hurt especially right there. Do you have a high tolerance to pain?

May08Bibek Sharma Shristi Shrestha is a British Passport holder who won Miss Nepal 2012. She sholud have been denied to take part in the competition. Sadly, she won the match. Those who left the country for their own sake and adopted foreign passport are not the nation lovers. How could they be crowned?
