For my eighteenth birthday (in 25 days!) the embalmer at the mortuary where I live is taking me to Paia to get my first tattoo. I've had it in mind for three years now... I'm getting the Chinese symbol for 'tiger' on my ankle. I have had a passion for tigers my whole life, and I was born in '86, year of the tiger. I didn't want a picture of a tiger, because they always look so dumb on tattoos. The Chinese character is really simplistic but beautiful. I can't wait!
