Cinder

Mostly elementary students. :) I want to work in a kindergarten as well. Khaos Ink in Gloucester - Spike did the ink. I may go get it retouched, because a couple of my friends when they first saw it thought the pink flame aura was an infection. >.> So now I'm paranoid and think that others will think the same. But otherwise it's healing quite well. It just finished its first peel, so I'm thankful that it's not itching anymore lol.

My first tattoo was a feather I got a couple days ago. I had one all designed out, but then got into the shop and was pretty much like "I want a feather in this shape, with blue, purple, and a pink aura," and the design was the exact image I had in my head. For years I've been wanting a phoenix tattoo, but didn't want to take the plunge just yet. So, I settled with a "falling feather" that would match the design/style of the upcoming phoenix. I want to add more shading/highlights but everyone tells me to wait until it heals and then see how it turns out.

Hiya, I'm Cinder (or Kate, doesn't matter), and I finally got my first tattoo on my 21st birthday, a couple days ago, after spending years thinking about it. I went through a day of "Oh, god, does it look okay? It's going to be on me forever?" Now I'm planning more, and am really enjoying the whole experience. I love art, but could never see myself getting into putting my art on people's bodies. So, I'm just your typical student, painter, and tattoo lover. Because of my career path (teaching), I have to keep everything under wraps. My feather on my ankle will be a part of a phoenix concept on my thigh, and I want my body to have the whole "reincarnation, mysticism" theme. Nice to meet you!
