Checking off the Bucket List

Friday I was able to check off one of the items that has been on my bucket list for awhile now. That is getting a tattoo. Although I almost psyched myself out before getting it. I was expecting the pain to be much worse than it was. It was not that bad at all.

I got the tattoo on my right forearm. It is an ampersand with two black birds on it. The ampersand is my favorite font character and with the amount of writing I do and the number of fonts that I work with in my job this tattoo reflects this era of my life. The birds, well, I love birds, one bird represents me, the other represents Richie.

I found an ampersand that I liked and added the birds from another image that I took apart.

For Richie, he wanted an ampersand since I was getting one as well, but he's always wanted a fox tattoo so I designed his ampersand around his fox using a font that was more "furry" looking. His tattoo is on his left forearm.
