Tattoo Time

I have finally booked an appointment to get a tattoo in New Zealand! I have wanted to get one here since forever, so it's finally happening.

When I return home, I will have "Change of Season" across my left ribs.
Originally it was supposed to be my left foot, but after a lot of reading and stories and recommendations from artists, the area I wanted is basically the worst place to get tattooed. It fades 50% faster then the rest of your body, and usually doesn't last during healing.

So, why "Change of Season"? Well, I think the most obvious is that it's the name of this blog. It's one of my all time favorite songs (by Matthew Good Band). Coming to New Zealand has really been a change of season in my life. There have been numerous conversations where people will bring up that term in reference to me. Coming to New Zealand, the seasons literally changed. And last, it just feels right.

My friends Lyall and Renee will be accompaning me while I get it done, so I'm hoping they will snap a few pictures while I'm in extreme amounts of pain. (The ribs are probably one of the most painful places to get tattooed)
I'm excited!
