A New Me is In Bloom and so is My Ink

Today I entered this place, an apartment that's been turned into a tattoo parlor

with two Korean tattoo artists working out of it.

I was then escorted into this room where one of the tattoo artists and I chatted, 

discussed what I wanted and then the work started.

First he drew a rough sketch on my back and then the inking started.

After an hour of discussion and sketching plus about 3.5hrs of inking, I was out the door a happily inked girl.  Panty Boy Jr. dropped by the club to check out my new ink.  He's got cherry blossoms on inked on his body too.  I think mine are prettier but I think he scores the "major hot babe" card due to the fact that, well, he's a dude with flowers on his arm.

Viola, the finished tattoo.

About 2.5 years ago I first got a cherry blossom inked on my back but when it came to getting it finished we had started preparing for Hulk's so all my time, effort and money went into Hulk's.  It was either get my tattoo completed or pay our construction workers at the club, so I picked pay the workers. 

Today's cherry blossom tree has a whole new meaning for me than when I first decided to get one done almost 3 years ago, hence why I asked him to not simply use the original as the main focus point.  I wanted a new tree, another tree, one that's more vibrant, stronger and bigger than the other because I'm a new me.
