what to do about it?

this pic has been here too, but now it has me thinking.

so, perusing my picture archives on this here computer, i found this one. yeah its me. i got it when my mother committed suicide. on my way back from the memorial i stopped in Portland Oregon and stayed with a friend. we went out to tiger lily tattoo (that's the best i can do for a link) to get this done. the woman who did it was great. i went there because when i called around to see who was interested in doing the work, she was ecstatic about the reasoning behind it and said she loved doing letters.

it didn't take long and was the least painful of all the tattoos i have. but it brings me to the next potion of the story...

several years ago i started a back piece that i have not had any work done on in years. massive wings and angel running down the center of my back... this one was painful on and off. i fell asleep often during the wings and on the two occasions i went black and blue tattoo i had the same artist do the work. once she wore a complete cheer leaders uniform while working. funny lady, her name was cedar...

the angel i had done at pleasure point tattoo, sorry no links for them seem to exist. anyways... i wasn't real happy with how the final work was looking on the wings. but its there and that is how its gonna be. but i need to get it finished. its been on my mind. i also need to have some touch up work done above my back piece where it has my grandfathers last name across my shoulders. i never see it is part of the problem. impossible to miss for everyone else, but rarely visible to me... (if your lucky I'll get a pic and post it. i keep threatening to do that, wah for you.)

so in the coming weeks I'll be saving a few bucks for it... I'll be bitching about that later is what that means... and shopping for a new artist. lunch time is nearing an end.. i better get to work...

edit: twenty points for who can tell me where the quote on my arm came from.
