Tattoo

As mentioned in one of my posts earlier I finally got a tattoo.

Here's a pic taken shortly after it was done:

Not easy taking a pic of your shoulder!

It says 'Nolite te bastardes carborundorum' which is a quote from 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood and is Pig-Latin for 'Don't let the bastards grind you down'. The quote's stuck with me ever since I read it at college when I was 19 (I think) so the best part of 10 years. Thought it was pretty apt and serves as a reminder to myself not to let other people get to me.

I knew after my major depressive period 2 years ago that I wanted this done and when I was home alone in May I finally got the courage to stroll inside a tattoo parlour and book myself in. Didn't cost too much and I even got to use the font I'd found online. Yay.
