I want to see! Can you post a picture of it?
ReplyDeleteI have a trinity knot on my left ankle. My sister designed it and my aunt inked it. It's pretty sweet.
Hope you enjoy your tattoo and don't regret it, I'm happy with mine but my husband hates his because it is a dumb tattoo lol. You were smart to really think about what you wanted, that is what I did too. They're permanant, so you want to make sure you come up with something meaningful that you like and won't regret later. So, good job, congrats, can't wait to see it!
