You did what in Berlin????

I believe in doing things impulsively. Otherwise thought may get in the way and prevent you from doing the thing. Whether it be walking in the city and impulsively deciding where to go next and discovering something new along the way, or going on a gut-feeling when figuring out where you want to eat. I think the best things come out of split second decisions.
This also may just be me justifying the fact that I got a tattoo while in Berlin. However, I knew that I did indeed want to get a tattoo while I was there since getting my acceptance. I wanted something that would forever be Berlin and be with me. I just didn't know what that was. It seemed to be a happy fate that one of my fellow trip-goers also wanted a tattoo while we were there. And it was also happy fate that while we were discussing what we wanted we both mentioned snakes. So, snakes it was (i.e. split second decision).
Now, catch me getting a little sappy here.. But I initially was worried about not knowing anyone on this trip and not being able to make friends with them. This is exactly the opposite of what happened. I ended up surrounded by lovely, friendly, incredible people for three weeks. It seemed only fitting that Iz and I have commemorative Berlin tattoos, but also a sort of bond. From strangers to friends in three weeks.
So, an impulse turned into reality. With lots of laughs, a lot of shrugs, a printing adventure, good coffee (twice), some hella good vegan burgers, and two tattoos. So, heres to split-second, here goes nothing, I guess this is happening, impulses.

Meet my snake:

I love him very much.
