Let's Talk Tats, Part Deux

I have been preparing myself to change my last name. Sometimes I think its no big deal and other times I struggle with becoming 'my new name'. Its a lot of "N"s-- 5 to be exact. I have practiced writing my new name (much like I did when I was in 6th grade with my crush's name), and haven't got it down to a science just yet. I miss making the capital "H"of my current name.

So as we sat at the pool yesterday for Bridesmaid Amy's birthday and Ryan was preparing to start his latest chest piece, I starting drawing Hs on our pizza box, and it hit me-- I would get my capital H, in my own handwriting, as a way to keep that part of myself.

At the shop the artist told me that actually my H was quite hard to tattoo. With such distinctive lines and curves, he said it would be like a final exam if one was a student of tattoo art. I didn't want much embellishment, I know my tattoo style is "less is more". You may recall my wrist tattoo botch-up.  I was rEEEEEally happy with the result. 

Yay!!!! It came out sooo well! Growing up we lived on an "H" street in an "H" town so its a bit of a nod to that as well. All my other tats are pretty discreet, this is my first piece that is all-out-visible. I felt a little bit gansta this morning when I woke up and saw my shoulder tat! I'm so hardcore! =)

Well a cursive H is hardly hardcore, but you know what I mean.
