I recently discovered the hospital I work at has a gym (they use it for cardic rehab during the day) but I am free to use it at night. I went after work tonight and I just want to eat everything. I already had a taco and now I want cereal and I just feel awesome and lazy and stinky.
Sanding this one back in various stages then giving it a stain finish.
Official Avengers fangirl now hello.
I was inspired to get this when my brother, Ross, passed away in March of 2011 and we had a tree planted for him in the holy gardens of Jerusalem. I only knew him when we lived together as children, his passing made me realize that my family is only as scattered as I make it to be. Ross made me realize that everything I could ever come to love can leave me just as quickly as they came. The tree is family and inner strength, the leaf is Ross, the sun is new beginnings.
The design was draw by my friend Mason ( http://livingthroughpages.tumblr.com/) He’s an absolutely gifted artist as well a wonderful person. (He’s drawn a lot of his own portraits.) I was inked by the incredible Korie of Jim’s Tattoo in Seabrook, New Hampshire. He’s undoubtedly one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of chatting with. I highly recommend them.
Because this having to choose thing just does not work for me.

I am pretty bummed that my scars are uneven in height, but y’know what?
I feel great about my chest. Uneven scars, stretch marks, whatever.
It’s my chest. It’s now the way it’s supposed to be: flat (except for my pecs which are suprisingly present..)
And I love it.
And though it’s kind of hard to see in this light, the scar is already fading on the side close to my armpit. It’s a month and some change post-surgery, and already the line is starting to go pale and blend in.
