This is my first tattoo. It’s an Albertosaurus skeleton, which is a species of dinosaur that’s native to the province of Canada I was born in. I moved to New Zealand with my parents when I was nine and I’ve been living there for the last 10 years, so when I came back to Calgary for a holiday a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to get a tattoo that symbolised my heritage (in a fairly original/bad ass way). My tattoo artist (whose name has unfortunately slipped my mind at the moment) did an amazing job, and the whole thing was over in just over an hour. Didn’t even hurt that bad either! Couldn’t be happier :)
Done at the Smiling Buddha in Calgary, AB, Canada
