dispatches from the beach, vol. 4

hello from kitchen bed in the heart of OBX, baby!

so today i decided to finally commemorate my outer banks experience. down the street there is a sweet-looking tattoo shop called "ISLAND DYES". i thought, wow.. this place has got to be credible. out here in the middle of nowhere. surely they must do great tattoo work.

so i decided to splurge and get the tattoo that i've been wanting for YEARS.

i've always wanted to symbolize my love for the island lifestyle, chilling, boogieboarding, flying kites, and crab hunting...

so i got a gecko tattoo. check it check it check it OUT:


i was a little worried about going with an artist i've never met before, but he assured me that he's done plenty of gecko tattoos before.. and it SHOWS.

so what do you guys think?!? I LOVE OBX Y'ALL!
