Tattoo Idea!

I mentioned this to a couple people on facebook the other day, but I thought I'd go ahead and post it here too. Alright so I've got my first tattoo on my back of my beautiful oak tree. Love it! And I've really thought about wanting to get another one. Seriously, as soon as you get one it's addicting :P And I'm the type of person that I don't want to just walk into the shop and get a flash piece that's in their portfolio. I want to have something that means a lot to me.

Little bit of context:
For the past couple years I've been sketching, using watercolor, and sculpting pears. There's just something about the full shape, the highlights and the shadows that it casts, and just the pure beauty of it that just speaks to me. Yes, going full artist on ya here. Then there's also the fact that my friends tease me because I also have a pear-shaped body ;) So of course that must be why I'm so attracted to pears lol

Well anyway, I'm walking around my new apartment, checking the place out, and I go into our lil semi-room that includes a foosball table and I see this tile on a shelf.....


And low and behold it's of a pear! :D I knew the second I looked at it that this was what I wanted for my tattoo. It's gorgeous, it's simple, I'll see it and think of my cute lil apartment, and it'll be something to commemorate my trip here. 

Winner winner chicken dinner!

There are a couple tattoo places that I've been looking into. Apparently, there was a really good one here in Rammstein-Meisenbach but he's booked up until April. Right when we're gonna leave. So that one's a current no. I may just walk in though with the picture and ask him if he has anyone who cancels and if he could do mine real quick. 

But yea :) Found what I'm gonna get. Now I just need to find the artist :)
