gettin' the itch for a new tattoo..

this is nothing new. i feel like almost all of the time except when i'm actually healing from a tattoo, i'm wanting another. they really are super addictive, and besides not wanting my neck, hands, or face tattooed, i haven't given myself any boundaries of when i'll stop.

i'm also pretty confident that i want to keep them all black and grey.

i've had soo many ideas that didn't pan out (a jack white portrait on my left thigh with a dolly parton one on my right.. austin used veto power on this one) and some that i definitely still want (a charmaine olivia silhouette on my back, a bunny somewhere, a frankenstein portrait), but that doesn't stop me from continuing to look around for more ideas!

here's some pretty tattoo inspiration i've been obsessing over the last few days:

have you ever heard of pos?! if you like rap, i recommend checking him out. i love this tattoo of his lyrics.

i really want to get a sister tattoo with kendall! unfortunately, our aesthetic is WAY different, and we can never think of things to agree on. i'd love it if we could do something like these sisters did. <3

source

i've been thinking about a butterfly tattoo around my wrist(ish).. what a weird location to describe, sorry! i'd want a tradition-style one, much like this.. and i have to be honest: i'd probably get some color in it. eep.

i. love. simple. line. tattoos. ugh, this is gorgeous. and the placement! man oh man.

snow is my favorite thing! i'd love to get a sweet little hidden snowflake one day. :)

source

i want a brand new tattoo one day, too.

source

i've been seeing tree ring tattoos all over lately. so pretty.

source

i wish it wouldn't be totally immoral to just straight rip off this tattoo. i love it so much!

and here are some that i don't really see as inspiration per se, i just think they're neat or pretty:

do you have any tattoos? do you want any? <3

this week seemed endless, and even after we got power back, i just didn't have time for the internet!

things i've been up to lately:

i finally saw moonrise kingdom! it was incredible and everything everyone says it is and so of course i immediately started coveting a poster! but, since i probably won't get my hands on one.. this seems like a good substitution. :) also, i favorited like a million of her other posters. i'm always trying to find a classy alternative to austin's movie poster collection, haha.
related: a cup of jo posted this list of wes anderson's best tv commercials this week. i had fun watching them this morning. :)

bekuh made a huge button factory announcement last week! we're SO excited about these necklaces. i have one, and i covet the 7-feathered one. <3

i've been REALLY wanting some more tattoos lately. i'm trying to plan out the rest of mine pretty specifically so i can end up with gorgeous pieces working together, like both of these girls. i sorta want the second girl's finger tattoo right now! so cute. :)

my new job rules. it's a lot harder, a lot more fun, and just an overall better situation than my last. i get two days off like a normal person! everything's just awesome.

austin and i have been talking more and more about a puppy coming into our lives once we move. i'm allergic to kitties, or else we'd have one of those lil guys by now. my dream is really to own a couple of bunnies and a pup, but austin hates bunnies. :( but! a puppy! in our lives! in october! this is big.

i finished a book, the great house, and started another margaret atwood book, oryx and crake. this one is set in the same world as the year of the flood, which i finished a few weeks ago, so i'm excited to be immersed in it again.

i'm excited to catch up on all the blogs i've missed this last week, now that things are calming down. see you guys soon <3
