Second Tattoo

So I'm slightly OCD when it comes to numbers, I have a thing about odd numbers...moving on! I realised the other day if I only get one new tattoo then I'd have seven, so maybe I should get two like last time so I'd have eight! I was thinking I want one behind my ear and I want a feather tattoo. There are loads of pictures on Google and such that show truly horrific feather tattoos behind the ear and elsewhere which has put me off for ages, then I came across this picture and, well, perfection!

I love how it follows the contours of her ear and hair, and the outline isn't solid like some feather designs. So yeh I'm thinking this one and a quote on my arm. When I have the money anyway! Oh and a nose piercing too...hmmm...maybe being a primary teacher wasn't the best idea I've ever had!

Tattoos

I've finally decided what I want as my next tattoo, yay! But....I have yet to decide where. I really want it somewhere on my arm, however being a Primary teacher and already having one visible tattoo on my wrist I'm not so sure this will go down well with the parents...
But anyways, here are some photos I've been using for inspiration for placement for my latest one. Now I just need to save up enough cash (this could take months...boo!).

New Ink

Hey guys, how was your weekend? I managed karaoke two nights in a row! I also got 2 new tattoos on Saturday. We went in a group and all got Osaka themed tattoos. It was really cool going in a big group as I've only ever been with one or two friends before. After our tattoos we went for dinner and then joined up with some friends for some karaoke. Just took my coverings off today and so far so good. When they've healed a bit I'll take some more pictures.

These are my karaoke buddies and you can kind of see one of my tattoos on my left wrist.

Just A Couple

Hey guys, how've you been? I was away snowboarding last weekend and have worn nothing special this week, hahaha! However, here is an outfit from a few weeks ago and one from the other night when I went to see a friend in hospital (he hit a tree whilst snowboarding, thankfully well on his way to recovery now) and then for some yummy Korean food.

 Wore this to work on a particularly dreary and rainy day. I was gonna wear my Versace skirt but the weather was too cold and miserable so wore the top instead.

Jeans; Uniqlo: Top, ring and bracelet; Versace for H&M.

It was finally spring the other day so wore my hair curly for the first time in ages as it has to be warm to let it dry naturally, otherwise I look like an electrocuted poodle, heh. Unfortunately it's turned rainy and nasty again today. I got these tights from  Topshop the other day, I like the charcoal colour as opposed to just plain black for a change. Also wore my new mint jumper from H&M. I had to tuck it under for the pictures though as it actually came just below my shorts so it looked like I wasn't wearing any pants, which drew a few stares, hehe.

Boots; market Hong Kong: 'Leather' shorts, headband, jumper; H&M.


I'm going to get two new tattoos on Saturday! They'll be my fifth and sixth tattoos but for some reason I'm really nervous about it. One of them I have wanted for aaaages, so not sure why I am so nervous. Ah well, we're all going in a big group as we're getting themed tattoos, so at least there'll be lots of hands to hold.

Right I should really go get ready, we have a birthday party tonight and have no idea what to wear seeing as the weather has turned so crappy today. Think I'm gonna work from the bottom up and build an outfit from my shoes (probs my JC Litas). Have a good Friday everyone!

Saturday

On Saturday I went shopping for some new snowboarding gear and then went to a friend's birthday dinner party, actually it was a friends' dinner party as it was for 2 friends. We had awesome pizzas and other delicious Italian foods and had some drinks afterwards. I was too busy eating and drinking though to get any good pictures so will have to wear that dress again soon. These are pictures from the daytime shopping. Oh, also, super exciting news! We booked an appointment for new tattoos! There's a big group of us going to all get Osaka themed tattoos, but I've also booked a second one. You'll just have to wait to see what it is though!

One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.

I feel the need for a new tattoo. I want one on my wrist and I've wanted a swallow tattoo for ages as I love the history behind them. So I'm thinking a swallow on my wrist. But still not sure. I often take a long time before I definitely decide to get a new tattoo. I currently have four and don't regret a single one! Here are some cute tattoo pictures. I wouldn't get colour though. It's just a personal choice but I don't think colour tattoos would suit me.

        


Although I may get some text...hmmm....I also want a tattoo on the upper part of my forearm like this



And I also want one on the inside of my bicep like this



Due to living in Japan though tattoos are a definite taboo, especially as I'm a teacher. Most of my kids have spied my lower back tattoo due to reaching up for the screen but I try to hide them as much as possible so a wrist tattoo might be a bit much! Ah we'll have to see. Once the idea of a new tattoo gets a hold of me I really can't let it go!
