It's a compass with a bed of roses around it. It reads: " Don't lose yourself."
I got this done about 4 months ago, it's my first tattoo.

That's so gorgeous! Honestly, that's one of the few traditional style tattoos that I've ever liked. It's amazing!

question period!

[I read this over so many times before posting to make sure it sounded non-snippy, I just don't know how to word it! hahah :P]

It's all good! :D

Traditional-style tattoos are just not to my personal taste, usually. It's not that the work that I've seen has been bad in any way--some of it has been truly amazing! However, appreciating something for being well done and liking it on a personal aesthetic level are very different things for me. Does that make sense? It's like going to a museum and seeing a painting that's really well done technically, but it doesn't move you personally.

Let me know if I can clarify more! :)

haha yes that's cool! I totally understand. I have a pretty full-on collection of tattoos, all being traditional. When I see olde english/script tattoos, etc, they are well done but I just wouldn't get it myself! Just wondering was all but I appreciate yer non-judgmental eyeballs for reading + answering!

Dig!

I like it. I love the roses and think they're really well done.

Oddly enough though, I almost got one across my back that said "Lose yourself to find yourself", a quote from one of my favorite musicians.
