Nice. So where did you end up getting it done?
Jay @ New Moon. I told him that you recommended him, and when he asked us what our connection was I said, “blogging”.
real nice man looks good your first ??
Thanks! Yep, the first and only thing I’d ever want.
Now I’m sure he’ll make fun of me later!

@Tiana — Actually, he laughed when I told him, and teased me a bit about it.
@Darren — Your turn!
It’s cool that it means so much to you.
Beautiful. I`m a Taoist as well, and I`m considering getting my one and only tattoo (with Taoist meaning) soon. Congratulations.
