Anchor Tattoo


I've always wanted an anchor tattoo. I think it's because my grandpa has one on his arm, and I thought that was cool. :)  I told the artist that I wanted a feminine version of a classic anchor, and I love it.  The roses are just to fill in some background space, and add to the prettiness of the design. The colors of the roses are the same colors of the flowers that were in my bouquet for Elsie & Jeremy's wedding.  I actually got the tattoo the day after their wedding, so I brought the bouquet with me to give the artist an idea of the colors I wanted. <3  I have yet to take a good photo of it, but I thought the dress I was wearing today showed it nicely.

I'm off to sit by the [kiddie] pool with Simon.
