It looks lovely Alicia. The shading looks great.. especially with the transition of colors in the skirt/pants.

Yeah. I agree. Tattoos aren't for everyone. I personally I have 4 and still have a ways to go before I'm complete. Now all of mine are totally coverable I made sure of that. I once ran into to someone when I was wearing a small shirt and the one around my belly button was showing. They said to me "why did you get that? When you're 50 that's not going to look so good." The smart *** in me came out and I simply said "Well, I don't think I'll be wearing mid drifts when I'm 50 either. I like it...it's pretty now, and I will always remember what it used to look like." Needless to say there was no reply for that one.

I say go with what you want to do. What makes you feel you look good and feel good. People will think what they will, and that's fine by me. And looks can be deceiving. Congrats on the tattoo!
