The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    I really like it when people get such a large piece in such an open spot for their first tattoos, it shows real devotion. And of course, that is a GOEGEOUS girl with a GORGEOUS tattoo! Her hair is almost white, I wish mine was like that!
