here's thinking of you, kid...

I have been wanting to do this for a long long time. But was getting stuck at finding the right design. Given that I will have to live with it for the rest of my life, it was kind of important to make sure I won’t wake up one morning n go “what the fck was I thinking”.

Thus I went through hundreds of designs, browsed dozens on sites, ate my friends’ head about helping me, decided one on design only to change my mind the next day. It had to be something which has a deeper meaning for me beyond being aesthetically nice.

Which is why I know I will never regret this one. This tattoo is my way of remembering Toi, my boxer who died last March. It was strange going back home this time. I kept expecting her to coming running and jump all over me when I enter. For the first time in thirteen years I was sleeping on my bed alone and I spent most of it staring at my ceiling.

I miss her so. Thus this design.

But I must say this is kinda addictive. This one haven’t healed yet and I am already trying to find the next design. Any suggestions?

What a lovely tattoo. I haven't been with my dog, Bruno, for so long and I miss him too.
BTW I am a friend of Arijit and James though I wasn't referred or anything like that! Just chanced upon your blog and felt like commenting.
