I was really excited to get it and now that’s it’s done, I’m so happy. I was super picky and we put the stencil on three times before I was ready to go. I knew exactly what I wanted and when you know, you just know and since you’re gonna have it forever, you better get it right.
It was done by Stephen Shaw aka @illustratelife and yes, it hurt. I was nervous and excited, my favorite feeling ever. The part near your elbow is so sensitive, so is getting inked on any part that covers a bone. My last couple were done by Robb Coutts at Bobby Five, he’s amazing but getting in there is near impossible these days.
People always ask “is there like, some meaning behind it?” DUH! Of course, like I’d do something just for no reason. All my tattoos are some type of reminder about something special in my life, as well as pretty decorations. I don’t feel like pouring my heart out about why I got each one but feel free to ask me IRL, I’ll tell you. I can’t imagine just walking into a shop, unplanned and getting some random thing off the wall, I gotta think my stuff out. What am I gonna do next? Hmm… just kidding MUM! haha. Ok, bye for now!
Love the colours.
I love this… mom, dad, sister[?] the anchors that hold you down, your roots & keep you grounded, stationary…even if that completely misses the mark, it's poetic nonetheless; definitely #borderlineartistic. Cheers.
Oooh you're good. Did I tell you about it IRL already? Ha!
I love it Casie. Looks so good and I'm glad you went to see Shawzy!
One day I'll get a cross like my dad had on his forearm [he passed].
One day…
[btw – I passed a girl after work last week – at richmond and peter streets. I recognised you instantly and definitively by your gray bangs :-]
Omg no way! Stop me next time and say HI!
thanks so much!
