Sketching
I enjoy designing and sketching tattoos. It is a past time, but I find myself investing a lot of time and effort into my designs. I like taking pride in something so... simple. It may not be a big deal to others, I don't have my designs on display or inked on anyone just yet, but preparing for that is fun in and of itself.
