My newest ink!

Hey all y'all.  I've so neglected my blog... and it'll likely be sporadic... but I wanted to share my two new tattoos with you!

Tattoo #1: A selkie with some seals, and a quote from the film "The Secret of Roan Inish".  I was inspired to get a selkie after seeing, and loving, the movie Song of the Sea which is an incredibly beautiful animated film by the people who brought us The Secret of Kells.  The tattoo is a nod to my Celtic heritage (I'm all Scottish/Irish/Welsh on my mom's side), as well as my love of the sea, and my love of mermaids and of seals (who are dog mermaids).

Tattoo #2: My first LGBT, feminism, unicorn pride tattoo. Rainbow-maned unicorn with a lesbian symbol "cutie mark" and Feminist Killjoy to be both accurate and ironic. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a kind and fun person and not a killjoy, but I am an ardent feminist, of course.

All of my ink is done by Anna Bjugsted, Ink by Anna.  I tell her what I want and give her some inspiration photos but the art is all her.
