Yep, I went in to the Ink Lab last night to talk prices, size, etc. about my tattoo (which I have wanted for years, FYI, this was not on a whim!) and wound up getting it right then and there. No fanfare, no friends, no photos. Awesome. I'll show you guys a close-up once it's done healing, but you get the idea! Sorry, mom! This seahorse I drew is the first thing that I made a screen of when I first started screenprinting on my own (like 5-6 years ago?) I've wanted him tattooed for a while and when they started selling my shirts at the Walker, I decided I had to get him as a little reminder to believe in my silly little dreams.
I found this in the coat section of a thrift store but it's just a wool knit, so I vote it's made for indoor wear.

I've never bought Target shoes before because I am a shoe snob, but when I found these brand new Xhilaration shoes with the original tags still on at the thrift store for $3 - I couldn't resist!
Bye kids! I'm still spazzing out a bit over the tattoo! It's going to take some getting used to but I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at it!

Eeps! Christine, I HEART the crap out of this. It's so cute, so perfect, and so YOU! Yay for new tattoos!
That tattoo is so cute. I really like the color that you chose for it.
Congrats on the new tattoo. It looks perfect on you.
I am jealous of that coat. And I don't know that I've been jealous of anything camel in my life!
And by coat I mean indoor-coat, of course.
Thanks for dropping off the blazer. I Love it, it makes my waist look tiny :).
Awesome Tattoo! Love sea horses because the male carries the babies. Seriously, how cool is that? I have been drooling on this oh so pretty sea horse cuff (http://www.etsy.com/listing/62485284/seahorse-vintage-style-brass-cuff). She sells her products at the walker too!
Love the new tattoo! And coat that's not a coast but an indoor jacket.
Fabulous! And such a great, bright red.
I especially love what your tattoo stands for! Good on you.
Your picture yesterday must've been reversed - it was on a different arm! :) Very cute.
Yeah, the picture yesterday was just taken with photobooth on my Macbook, so it came out backwards! I didn't even notice!
when i saw your post last night somehow I KNEW it was going to be a seahorse... (i've seen your screenprinted tee before and i guess in the back of my mind i pictured it as a tattoo). it's so very cute!
loving the new ink!
this just scratches the itch ive had to get some new work done. got the pictures ready to go, just need to pick a spot...
Congrats on finally biting the bullet and getting the new tattoo!
Neat! And you can colour him in when you're bored, then wash it off and try different colours the next time!
I really like that coat. Maybe it could be a cooler weather coat. You know, when you don't really need to wear a coat, but you've got one that's so amazing that you have to wear it anyway?
Right on. I ♥ seahorses.
It's perfect! Absolutely perfect! I love the tattoos that you've wanted forever but then end up happening so quickly!
your little sea horse is lovely. you are so much more brave than i am....i don't know if i could ever get an arm tattoo, but i really do love them and it's especially cute on you!
I love it when a tattoo means something to the person getting it. It's beautiful!
