Skull Snake Skull Snake

This is my calf tattoo of a crazy snake. I love black and white tattoos, and this one in particular looks so much better in black and white than it did in color. It just goes to show you should always stick to what you like when you are getting tattooed. Honestly, this tattoo was really something of a joke. I told my buddies that I was getting a snake with a skull for a head tattooed on me if I...

Surprise! Surprise!

One of the things that is most important to me about a tattoo is that the image is bright and vibrant. Even my black and white tattoos are really clear, and I always make sure that I have reviewed lots of the artist's work and even seen it in person on other people before I am willing to let them work on my skin. However, even I could not have expected how much I was going to love my laughing snake...

Tribal Goddess Tribal Goddess

This was the first tattoo I ever got, and I have never looked back. I had to make sure that she was above my sleeve line because I didn't know what kind of job I was going to get after high school, but whenever I'm feeling lonely or wondering if that special someone is out there for me, I just have to pull up my sleeve and know that everything is beautiful and that love is out there somewhere.
