ITCHING FOR INK

I'll be honest.  I'm itching for some new ink.  You know, the type of print that stays with you forever.  For those that know me well, I'm no stranger to the tattoo needle.  I waited until I was 26 for my first tattoo.  I took my decision and the process very seriously.  It was at Brooklyn Tattoo, in Brooklyn naturally, with the talented Robert Bonhomme, who has gone on to tattoo the likes of Lena Dunham (fun fact!).  But like most folks who have tattoos, one was not enough.  I've had a few more since then, and I'm feeling like it's time again.

So I'm having fun gathering some ink inspiration.  There a so many lovely tats out there today.  Here are a few of my favorites:

All I need to do now is answer: what, where, and when?  (Oh yes, and how much?!)
