    I've been wanting to get a second tattoo for a long time now, but I was super indecisive about it.

    Then my wife found out a local tattoo artist has made it his personal mission to give tattoos of each of the original 151 pokemon, and to help with that he was giving a discount to anyone who picked one that he hadn't done yet. He's super talented and the discount was significant.

    So, very much off the cuff, I decided to get a Psyduck tattoo.

    This guy's work is unbelievable. He really deeply cares about his work, and has incredible attention to detail. He used 15 colors for this tattoo. He's like a Bob Ross of tattoos (minus the happy accidents).

    I love it! It's my first color tattoo, my first "for fun" tattoo, and my first tattoo that's visible day to day. Getting a tattoo that doesn't have a lot of personal symbolic meaning, and one so visible, was a bit of a leap of faith for me, but I'm really happy that I did it.

      It really does feel good to get something non-serious just because I like it. Also, my kids love pokemon, so it reminds me of them as well.
