end goals and next tattoo

I just wanted to let you all know that today I sold 4 wallets and recieved a nice donation towards the next tattoo! Right now the next tattoo fund is at $87.02. I will be scoping out a few places while I am on vacation to get some pricing, and I'm hoping to come back with something to show off.

So as promised a little insight into the next tattoo.

What I have envisioned is a soft outline of an owl feather drifting down my shoulder blade. There has always been something fascinating to me about seeing feathers drifting down the old country roads I use to live on. They seemed so free and able to just drift off where they wanted until they would find the perfect place to rest. I believe I picked the owl feather intensionally due to the fact that among the people we are visiting, one is my oldest friend from Minneapolis. She has had this slight obsession with owls. So in the end I thought a nice mix of the two would almost be a tribute to the freedom to roam where life takes you without an end to the bonds that certain relationships have on your life.

I'm hopeful that Portland has some decently priced tattoo artists who rock out some great artwork... we'll have to see!

***UPDATE: Portland became too busy of a trip for tattooing. I am setting up an appointment soon for a consultation.

In the mean time I'd like to thank all of you who have supported this project. There will be much more to get soon and more rambles from me before then!

Much love,

Em
