Well. So I took a lot of dance classes growing up. It was a very important part of my life. I wanted a tattoo for that, but I didn't want something obvious like a ballerina. Thought of a black swan. This doesn't really read like a black swan (I think the legs are proportionally too large or something) and it's not exactly dark enough, but I thought the stencil looked sick so I went with it anyway. I think she did a great job! The only thing I might want to change about it in the future would maybe be getting it darkened.

I'm planning on getting a tree on my thigh soon (unrelated) and have been trying to figure out who and where to choose booking it. So far my tattoos are all from different people, but I really liked the vibe of the shop and artist for this particular one. I think I might ask her to do my tree also.
