Tattoo Story: Quartz Cluster

My 6th tattoo was the only one I’ve ever gotten on a bit of a whim and the only one I’ve gotten with other people around. The employees of the pie shop in a library in a library where I worked at the time all decided we wanted to get tattooed. Some were people who had many tattoos, those who had none, and those that got swept up in the excitement. We made the plans early in the week and went one day after work. I was the last to get tattooed, so the others had already gotten thier tattooes and left! So, in a way, I ended up getting this tattoo alone, as well. I talked with the artist, both when I made the appointment and when I got to the parlor, about a small quartz cluster on my calf. As with many of my tattoos, I want to impress upon the artist that I want to stay away from phallic symbolism. For the only tattoo that was not planned out well in advance I was pleasantly surprised at how awesome one came out. I was expecting less, but I ended up loving this tattoo.
