the memories

first tattoos ever

there’s a certain magic to this first tattoo ever! It may be – even now – some sort of rite of passage and we grow into someone stronger and more self-confident or … we become losers in the eyes of those who don’t understand! 😉 Down the memory lane – first tattoos ever!

And my first one ever was a little Chinese sign done in a street shop in the middle of nowehere in Indiana. It was a cool experience and soon I was back there, coming for more!

me again – finally the shin!

It’s certainly the tattoo that’s been taking me the longest ever but – in a way – it reflects the ups and downs of my life! 😉 On October 16, 2017, a day after having run my second full marathon, I finally managed to add to my shin!

Before:

shin 1

 

After:

shin 2

 

I’ll try to write up a text about it ASAP – for my own records’ sake and maybe someone out there will profit from it, too.
