I recieved my first tatoo a week before my birthday this year, from one of my best friends ^_^ It is of a chinchilla and he looks really....odd. Like not odd in a bad way, but the drawing (I did this pretty high mind you ) looks kind of trippy.....
not colored! All mine were done in my basement (which by looking at your I'm sure you have a similar story) and i think it best left as is. I think color will cheapen it even more.
