well, sorta. I have had 3 additions on it. it started out very small, then i had a much larger piece added on when I lived in Baltimore. finally, this summer, i had two large pieces added. I did not design it per say, but i brought in an example that i drew of the kind of design i wanted in baltimore and the artist worked from there. this summer, i had the tattoo artist design an addition to what i already had. i absolutely love this tattoo. i sit in the mirror and admire it all the time! thanks for all the wonderful comments!
