This is my crown tattoo. It's my first tattoo and the biggest thing ever. Seriously. It couldn't possibly be any bigger and still fit on my body. It took 8 hours and cost me a little over $650.
All of the work was been done by Budha at 5 Point Studios in Johnston, IA.
Why did I get a crown?
1. Because I rule.
2. My name (Derek) means "Power of the tribe"
3. Confidence.
4. Having control over myself - hopefully.
