Tattoo

[talyen]

Harmony is on my heart chakra.

For those of you with someone at home, you have no idea how much fun it is to take a picture of a directional tattoo on your back using multiple mirrors.

I got it in Miami from Salvation Tattoo. The guy freehanded it onto my back. The color is "MUSE blue." I decided on harmony a couple years ago, because it seems to me that harmony leads to peace: being able to fit within the crashing notes, the clashing ideas, leads to the soothing and calming and peacefulness of all.

Salvation did it in 15 minutes, I'm told -- the adrenaline made it feel like 2. I didn't feel it at all. The sunburn on my shoulders hurt much worse. It itched about a week later, and I didn't scratch it. That's about it, and I can't wait to get more.

Down here in Conservative Land, you cannot get hired for jobs with visible tattoos, so being creative and concealing is important.

ETA: Here's a link to the guy who did my tat.

Great symbolism. Congratulations. And thanks for the picture. Yeah, that's a hard one to catch.
