Yeah, haven't posted in a bit, but I got my shamrock, and it's fuckin everything I wanted it to be. The pain didn't bother me at all, and I love the reaction I get from people when they see it.
To answer some ?s:
No, I won't regret it when I'm older. I refuse to regret anything that I have ever done in my life, this is no different.
Yes, it has meaning. I have always been proud of the fact that my family came from Ireland. I actually have another tattoo planned that is going to incorporate that and everything else I really believe in and care about. I'm designing it myself and it's going to cost about $800.
Beachguy: I don't think I'm going to ever get a tattoo on my inner thigh, sorry. But, I'll get a pic of this one and my next one, which will start on each of my hips and connect around to the center of my back.
