Tattoo Time!

I got a tattoo!

Not really! I drew it on myself with eyeliner, and then when it started to fade, I went over it with pen. 

It was a beautiful butterfly! (I just pictured the caterpillar from A Bug's Life)

I was looking for ways to make a temporary tattoo, but they required special paper and I was too lazy to leave the couch and I was too miserly to go pay for the paper, so I just decided to freehand it on myself.

The next step in the process was finding what design I wanted. This is an important decision because it was going to be on me for 2-3 days
 
So I went online and did some research on things that I love. So I  looked up Tangled, Roman designs, sun, moon, stars, and Celtic designs.
 
So I found these...
  

 
But then I found this...
 
 
LOVED IT! So I started to draw it on my wrist and realized that I had drawn it too big. Thankfully it was only eyeliner. Imagine if it had been an actual tattoo! O.O So I just wiped it off and then I decided to copy the butterfly. And voilà, I had a tattoo!
 
I also told my brother I would draw something on him. Here are his ideas.  
 
    
 
 
The butterfly and the phoenix would be for me. I thought the seahorse was adorable, but my brother is quite weird and I can see him wanting it.
 
Well... my tattoo has faded and you can barely see the butterfly, so what should I draw next? Hmm...
