Hoppy April Fool's Easter etc.

First my April Fool's joke.

So, for April fool's day I Photoshopped a tattoo of the word "Love" on my neck and posted it on Facebook. My whole family and several of my friends fell for it. Good times. Although, maybe a new tattoo wasn't a very shocking April fool's gag, since I have two tattoo's already. However, I personally think getting something very generic, like the word "Love" is a little too cheesy for me.


Also, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

Andrea's Got A New Tattoo

So I just got a new tattoo. I'm pretty proud of it; I designed it myself. It is of a panda riding a turtle. I knew I wanted a tattoo on my shoulder blade for a while now, but just didn't know what to get. On Monday I was doodling in my sketchbook and this just came to me. It's my favorite animal (the panda) riding on top of my boyfriend, John's, favorite animal (the turtle). Then I sketched this out and inked it and I fell in love with it. I knew right away I wanted to get it, and I did, today.

Here is the preliminary drawing.



I thought about adding some color.




This is the final on my body.


I got the tattoo at the Tattoo Factory in Uptown. It was more than I wanted to pay for, but it came out good and the guy who did it was really cool.
