Am I crazy?...yesh

As most of you know, I've been quite busy lately. I started a new job a few weeks ago, and have been doing tattooing on the side. Did this one for my sis, Laura. The small design was something the both of us collaborated on after getting the basic idea from out of a book I had. The leafy/floral/viney motif is VERY Laura. She was happy with it, as was I. Hadn't ever done anything with a color outline before.

This tattoo is my own (just above my left knee). I decided that the time had come and I just better tough it out and give myself one. Hurt like a mother, but I think it was more of a mental struggle, rather than physical. My plan is to add to it and eventually have this leg mostly covered. Although, I think this tattoo is completed fairly well, I know that if I hadn't done it myself, or if it had been done on someone else, it would have turned out better. It was definitely hard to focus on executing the design correctly, while enduring pain that I was inflicting on myself. I really had to put my mind in another place, but remain conscious enough to concentrate on my work. One of the hardest things I've ever had to do mentally, physically, emotional......but I'd do it again (and will!)
