Tattoo No 4

This is my newest tattoo. I was under gun for 3 ½ hours, which I now think is my limit. I felt like I had been kicked by a horse.

This was one that I pulled out of Tattoo Magazine’s flash section. I don’t remember who the artist is, but it was inked on my back by Jers at Saint Sabrina’s in Uptown, Minneapolis.

Other than I still feel mostly directionless most of the time even now, I wanted a compass rose on my back. I’m also drawn to the human eye. I was trying to between a typical compass rose, a nautical one, and large human eye, until I came across this design.

I’m not very impulsive. So after selecting this design, I waited almost a year. Meanwhile, I was giving blood at the Memorial Blood Centers. I’m O + and in demand. I love the satisfaction of giving blood, knowing that I’m helping people. It is too bad that Tattoo colleting and donating blood are in conflict with one another.

According to Memorial Blood Centers, I’m ineligible to give for 12 months after getting inked. This is the lamest rule ever. With how clean most place are now, this should be updated. So, I will give for another year while I think hard about my next one, my 5th.

Anyway, I have a large demonic eye on my back. Wow, when my parents found this one, blue north sticks up out of my collar; they just shook their heads. Nice. Well, it is my skin. Watch out! You can’t sneak up on me. I’m always alert! I have an eye on my back!

This is also my favorite tattoo. The colors are amazing. The work is fantastic. The placement works well. And it makes me feel like a badass.
