Human Rights Tattoo Complete

Remember this design? [link]

Finally got it inked onto my skin today at a wonderful new parlor in my hometown. The artist was excellent, very talented and very fun to work with, despite my fear of needles and utter wimpiness when it comes to being stabbed multiple times near my shin-bone. He re-pierced my navel and ear cartilage for me as well, replacing rings I had to have removed after the car accident in March.

I am so happy with this tattoo, I don't even know what to say. Seriously. Promised myself I could get it if I finished my thesis or got a job ... turned in my thesis a month ago and landed a job two weeks ago. This is art I earned, and I'm very proud of it.

Design's mine, by the way. I freehanded it at work four years ago. It's nice to finally have it inked into my skin. : )
