#53: Get my heart, or another tattoo

So, for years I've been wanting to get a tattoo on the back of my calf that looks something like this:


But, for years now I just haven't had the money to spend on a tattoo (there are about three things on my car that would need to get fixed before I could justify getting a professionally-done tattoo). Instead, one day I was inspired while looking at a bunch of photos of elephants, and started working on giving myself a tattoo. With the help of a friend I did a DIY tattoo of a carrot when I was 21, and I still had some ink left over, so I went to work on this:


I've titled it, "Anything not related to elephants is irrelephant." It's a work in progress, you can see it's a bit dotty, I have to work on filling in the lines, making it more solid.
