Your body is a temple...

...but how long can you live in the same house before you redecorate?

I got my first tattoo on Saturday. I'm incredibly happy with it. I'd been thinking about the location for about a year, and finally settled on a design about 6 months ago. I held out for 6 months just to be sure, but I finally went for it on Saturday. I went with a group of friends to Chattanooga over the weekend, and we all got tats at Standard Ink. Everyone there was incredibly nice, and did a great job of calming my nerves. I got voted to go first because all my friends thought I would chicken out once they started getting theirs. I've got to say though, the pain wasn't nearly as bad as I'd anticipated. I'd compare it to a bee sting, honestly.

At the bottom, you'll see a picture. It's in between the size of a nickel and a quarter and located on the inside of my left wrist. I originally started out wanting a heart, but then I found this design and decided that it was absolutely perfect for me. Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely LOVE music (not because I play or sing, but because you'd be hardpressed to find a time when I'm not listening to music on my iPod or on the computer). So, when I saw this design, I knew I could have the best of both worlds... music notes that make a heart... that's what I like to call perfection. Anyway, take a look and let me know what you think!!
