Ink?

Yesterday, I spent a good chunk of the day watching Miami Ink on TLC. I also will stop and watch Inked on A&E if I stumble across it. More and more people are getting tattooed every year, and not just the 'kids'.

I got my tattoo when I was 24, after I got out of grad school. I set aside my spare change until I had enough to pay for it. Which is why it's really unfortunate that it looks a lot like prison art. It's a design I drew myself, which is part of the problem, of a Celtic knot from a tombstone. You can deduce that it's not very well done. The only good thing is that it's on my lower back, so I don't have to see it unless I want to.

I don't regret getting it--not at all. I regret not shopping around and getting a better artist, and I've been wanting to go to a good artist and see what can be done with it. I mean, I'll have it with me for the rest of my days, so it ought to be something that looks--at least--okay.

Who out there has some ink? Where and of what? Would you never do it? Am I crazy for wanting to get mine 'touched up'?
