new pendant + new tattoo

hey there! i finished a new pendant the other day. it's an aqua color druzy stone set in sterling silver with a clear swarvoski crystal. my friend bought it already for her mom's bday...yay!
and i got a tattoo, it's till healing. i brought in a design i did and the tattoo artist made it even better! i absolutely love it! Surrender has been a big word for me in the past 5 years i'd say. i've been learning how to not fight the present moment or any uncomfortable feelings or situations and trying to just flow. while trusting that it is all happening for my good and everything is in divine order.
i still don't know if i'll ever get the art nouveau half sleeve i want. i was pretty nervous about getting this surrender tattoo. it is on my inner forearm. so it's the first tattoo i have that is very visible. so we'll see!

to tattoo or not to tattoo

that is my question! for years now i have been thinking about an art nouveau tattoo. recently i have been thinking about getting one on my arm, almost like a sleeve. but do i want it there for ever?! aaah! i can't decide. i go back and forth. i will be old and wrinkly and have gray hairs. will i look strange with a huge tattoo covering my arm? but then again, i plan on being a pretty hip grandma, so does it really matter? ;] i mean is it THAT important what you look like as a grandma or what you look like in general ever? i absolutely LOVE tattoos. and i have since i was 15. i got my first tattoo when i was 19. and the tattoos i have right now aren't in the most visible places. and relatively small.... eh.... i'm rambling. i probably will end up getting it once i draw something up or find a design i want AND find the money! here are some inspiring art nouveau tattoos i found. most are alphonse mucha, who is one of my very favorite artists.
