Going in Saturday to make an appointment for the rest of this vision. I envisioned this as a two piece project for deeply personal reasons. I saw this photo on line and knew it was I wanted subject to my artist interpretation.... The first half on my back. Second half coming out of my chest above my heart. Yes my divorce comes to mind. This project brings closure on many levels. Life is good. Ink is good!

I think there is another scenario, like what my wife and myself evolved through, when we got together 12 years ago she liked my tattoos(I had a lot then),and she had zero tattoos, she also said back then that she would never get one, well grandkids came a long and she learned a lot more about tattoos and saw the fun I was having and she started getting them on her own free will, I was fine with her not having any or having them, I love her either way. I'll take her anyway I can get her. it is cool that we share another common interest now though IMO.I love the fact that we experience it together much of the time.(like both getting tattoos at the same convention)

Same reason I tried to get him to eat seafood. He hated it 15 years ago, to the point where I couldn't really cook it at home. Now he asks to go out for raw oysters, and he's picked out the fish we're cooking at the house all year. Sometimes we encourage each other to grow, try new things, change thinking we've carried without understanding for years, etc. We trust each other.

eagle could be clutching the compass, but the eagle would likely not be symmetrical across the chest...an asymmetrical bird chest piece can look really cool and unique. depends what look you want. a good tattooer will be able to advise you on the design/placement and if they are interested in incorporating the existing tattoo into their design or just make it look good as a standalone chest tattooo.

Tornado7 hit it for me. I'd love for her to experience the interest that I have. But, it's Ok for her not to. I don't enjoy cooking or gardening (but I do enjoy eating what she grows and cooks!) We do enjoy riding the motorcycle and seeing new places together. She seemed to really enjoy the trip we recently took to Kennedy Space Center. So, if she never gets one, it's still all good!

I am perfectly fine with my hubby not being tattooed...ever.
