I always wanted to get a tattoo, something elaborate, classic looking, and feminine. I definitely wanted whatever I got to accentuate femininity and look like it wasn't "pasted" on. Being a painting major and having lived in Tokyo, I really appreciated the Japanese Crane or tancho. They are beautiful, graceful, and currently endangered. The tancho is seen by the Japanese as a symbol of luck and long life. I figured it would be a good pick as I love animals. Don't regret it at all!

Currently working on ideas for my next tattoo with Shannon.. I am thinking of definitely getting a cute portrait of my cat, Casper, and perhaps a ninja assasin girl who is my MMORPG [massive multiplayer online role playing game] character. I want some color this time!!!
