Tattoo

I have my next tattoo booked for the next few weeks. I am finally moving onto my arm which is huge. My parents have never been fans of women with arm tattoos. It was something I was always anxious about but I have wanted this for so long. It was weird getting to the point too where I thought "I actually can do this if I want."
I told my parents about it on my last visit home. Of course I got the looks etc.
Then a day later I was driving with my dad when we brought it up again. For once rather than ignore it or not be happy, he chatted positively. I was so surprised when he went "well she is a great artist so it will come out nice" and telling me what it would feel like there.
I was surprised and happy.
My last tattoo I got to counteract one I got in my relationship. In the beginning for my birthday my ex got me a beautiful steampunk necklace. I loved it so much that years later I got the design on my foot. The first time we broke up he was upset I did not take the necklace with me.
It has since been destroyed. I couldn't do it myself. My box of memories I left at home and asked my mum to get rid of it for me. Yet another chapter in the pain I have felt. Five years of memories, trinkets, photos etc gone.
So after the break and before moving to uni I got my spartan helmet with Athenian and spartan colours mixed throughout. That my heart would have some armour again and that I find the strength and wisdom to be a warrior. 
It helps that it is on my muay thai kicking foot too!
So this next one actually has no real reason. I love Autumn. The leaves look beautiful and I want that with me.
I cannot wait.
