Tattoo in progress!

This afternoon my bff Pamm and I went to a tattoo shop in Lexington to talk with one of the artists about my sparrow and lilies tattoo. Pamm was with me when we got our first tattoos in college, and when I got my belly button pierced (I missed her most recent ear piercing, unfortunately), so we kind of have a tradition going. Although I've been collecting ideas and sketching for a few weeks, I realized that I needed the help of a professional artist if it was going to look really good. We talked to a girl named Elli (check out her portfolio here) who was really patient as I tried to explain the image I was thinking of. And I think she's going to be able to create something really cool. She told me to call her toward the end of next week and she'll update me on how the design is coming along. !!!! I'm SO EXCITED to see what she comes up with!
