What Knot

I love the tattoo on my tailbone. I think it needs to be re-outlined as it is about ten years old and has been through a lot. It has pretty intricate lines and shading and it isn't as clear as it used to be. I am wondering if it could be freshened up. I don't get to see it very often. Perhaps a glimpse in the mirror occasionally. This seems to be the trend with my tattoos. Generally, the best ones are where I can't see them myself but I wouldn't want any of them in any other place. I do wish, however, that I had gotten that one put on much larger than I did. At the time it seemed plenty big enough for a second tattoo and I wasn't sure just how much it was going to hurt being where it is. I also had to take into consideration that Logan was an infant laying on the floor on a blanket under me smiling and drooling while I was straddling a bench face down with my husband tattooing me. There were lots of factors. Of course, it didn't hurt me at all. So now I am kind of wishing I had gotten it about twice as large as it is. I suppose it should also be noted that the wider my ass is the smaller it looks and the narrower my ass gets the bigger it looks. Like some weird ass optical illusion. So if I lose another fifteen pounds it might look the perfect size after all! If that isn't motivation to exercise I don't know what is. I have contemplated what it might look like to have something added around it. I am just not sure. I would not want to take away from the design though and end up not liking the way it looks anymore. I do really like some flower designs I have seen of Corey Miller's that are kind of swirly and if I didn't have the three roses on my hip I would seriously consider getting something similar to that style wrapped around my hips and stopped at either side of the knot. Speaking of the roses, my plot to get my husband back in the mood to tattoo backfired on me. I am not a paying customer, maybe that is the problem. Hmm.
