Wow. Let me first start off by saying thank you to all who have approved of my ink. Yes, as Heretic said its in my lower back. And no, I did not get the approval of FIRST before I had this done. But in my defense, I got this tattoo for me, not for the whole world to see and certainly not to promote FIRST in anyway.

To answer some of the underlying questions. Yes, I drew the design myself with the exception of the FIRST Logo. And I do plan on having the white touched up, along with filling in the Tribal. In reference to the pain: The outline was probably the most difficult part. It happens right away and it was thin lines. Filling in the color wasn't too bad until it got near the spine... and yea, it hurt just a little bit, but the way I see it, the pain was well worth it.

Tattooing a great way to express yourself and get a design that is truly meaningful to you. I contemplated this design for a while and probably drew for a good 8 months before I found my final design. Being that I'm only 18 and still currently living in my parents house, I let them know that I was doing this before I actually had it done. To my surprise my father actually wanted to come with me and watch me get it done. :: Great bonding experience ::

FIRST for Life.
