I am SO STOKED about my new tattoo! I got it done today at Outer Limits in Costa Mesa. The shop is super nice and clean and they did not rip me off at all (unlike my previous tattoo experience). The artists there are so talented and kind. My tattooing session took approximately 30 minutes and the pain was tolerable and not bad at all. It hurt at first, but after a couple minutes I became numb to it and was basically lying there and staring at the ceiling. It was good overall.
This tattoo means a lot to me because I drew it myself. The tattoo artist, Andrew, fixed up a couple things just based on where it was going to be placed and what would be better technically speaking. But overall, he stayed very true to how I drew it and I was very pleased.
This tattoo is based on another one of my drawings that I drew a couple years ago.
In a short description it means, “In the depths of the oceans and the heights of the mountains, He is always present and it is well.” My original, larger drawing had two hands holding the water and the mountains. What I always want to remember is that the world is in God’s hands and He created all things in his image. No matter where you are in the world, and no matter what happens, all is well and under God’s control.
This tattoo is a beautiful reminder to me about that and I’m so happy I get to have it on my body forever.
