Reply #14: For me it had to "click"

[YankeyMCC]

Getting a tattoo has been something I've considered since I was in college but always mindful of how permanent and how much of a statement it makes about your image (both of ourselves and how you want others to see you) I never felt I could find the right design.

But as I got older and become more confident in who I am and found my passions so to speak - the things I really cared about that make up a lot of who I am - something clicked and I came up with a design:



That I liked the looks of and that represented something about me that I wanted to have for myself and as a way to present myself to others.

That was my first.

And once you get your first the criteria or motivator for more gets simpler I guess :) I got my second, a simple set of wolf tracks on my shoulder, as a result of an event and to help me make a statement again about myself. My wife asked for a divorce and a while after that as part of working my way through this I got the tracks which represent moving forward with my life.

I got mine at a place in Cambridge, MA that came highly recommended and after looking at portfolios of a couple of the artists. I really like the guy I went to, I have plans for other tattoos and I can't imagine going to anyone else.
