Trilobite Fossil tattoo.  This is my first tattoo!  The state fossil and motto of Wisconsin are the Trilobite and ‘Forward,’ respectively.  Beyond that, I like the connection of the fossil and the word, and the connotation of evolution that they have together, moving forward from one time to another or one state to another.

Obviously I am super stoked about this tattoo.

It was done by Su Houston at Skin Abrasions Tattoo Studio in Oak Park, Illinois.

This is my parasaurolophus while it was being done. I’ve always been a dinosaur geek and this is my favorite dinosaur ever <3 It’s my 9th tattoo.
