oooh. on a nonspecific day after careful planning and procrastination, i got my second tattoo.

my first one was last summer.



a star from the little prince (my favorite book in all the world).

this tattoo is different. it's a dedication to the family name.
there are no males to take my last name. i am the first born in my family; i would have been named vincent.
just like my father and my grandfather and great-grandfather. only i did a variation of it. i did vincenzio.

i toyed around with a bunch of variations/writing styles of the name. and this one (from october) sort of stuck.



so i worked on it and worked on it and contemplated...



then! that nonspecific day came. i was sort of nervous because the first one hurt like a bitch.
but the people at electric ladyland (on frenchman) were lovely and kind to me, so they eased my nerves.
it didn't hurt as bad this time. it definitely was better. here's the temp/tracer thing (disregard my asscrack, please!)

the result:



pretty sweet, eh?
