I’ve decided that I want my second tattoo to be a sea turtle. I already have a crab with the cancer sign on my right shoulder and I thought it would be great to balance it out with another shelled sea creature on my left shoulder. I’ve always had an affinity with turtles and it seems to fit with my personality (hard shell on the outside, soft/sensitive inside.)

I designed it to be tribal-like with a heart in the middle. I’m pretty happy with the way it looks, but I need to clean up the design in the event that the tattoo artist is going to print it out and make a stencil out of it. It’s going to be similar in size to the one on my right upper arm so that the fins will wrap around my shoulder a bit, just like the crab claws do.
