Hi from St. Louis

[Tornado6]

I've been lurking for aftercare for a while. I am thirty #>^*£! (37 :) ) and I've just healed my first tattoo.

This is my botanical print wood sorrel, still a little weepy from the first time it was washed.

Welcome!!!

My son's from the same day.

Simple but lovely. When's the next one?

Well... U2 tickets go on sale today for next summer. He and I both want U2 related tattoos (he wants an engineering diagram of an atomic bomb, and I'm playing with refraction/reflection in drops of water). I hadn't intended to make this my next, but the opportunity to take a road trip and get it done in Chicago after the concert, on my birthday, is just too much to pass up.

Or not, tickets sold out and I wasn't far enough up the queue.

So maybe my Grandma in her belly dancing outfit ;)

I am totally going to Chicago in June. :cool:

[Raymond Velasco]

I'm new to hello

I have tickets for both Sunday and Monday concerts, have a hotel room booked, and train tickets home on the 30th have been purchased.

I don't think I can cram a tattoo into this trip? I've been looking at Deluxe Tattoo (Ryan Flaherty specifically), but I 1) don't want a time constrained tattoo from an artist I've been following on the internet, and 2) don't want to go to two concerts / ride public transportation / walk all over the Loop with a fresh tattoo.
