As part of the trip, I will be trying to get a tattoo in each city that I stay in for a week or more. With how many stops we’ll have, I’ll have quite the collection by the time our trip is done. The plan for what tattoos I’m going to get is very open. Basically I’ll talk to each artist and give them as much leeway and freedom as they’d like with the basic premise that the tattoo isn’t much larger than a dollar bill folded in half. With that said, that’s not an absolute necessity to adhere to that… it will just hopefully keep me from being broke most of the trip.

Pre-Trip Tattoo! (February 19th, 2013)<\/strong>
\nRoyalty Tattoos Parlour<\/a>
\nAddress: 103 N Saginaw St, Durand, MI 48429
\nPhone: (989) 288-2190
\nArtist: Chris Hornus
\nCost: around $100 or $120 (honestly can’t remember the exact number)<\/p>\n

Dan and I have been meaning to finish the major pieces on our matching tattoos. Dan proposed getting a Michigan tattoo (which we’ve been meaning to do since we moved back to MI), and I was sold. Chris Hornus<\/strong> of Royalty Tattoo<\/a> in Durand, MI has done everything on our matching arms. We gave Chris the rough outline for what we wanted (Lower Peninsula of MI, skull and cross bones over Detroit, and something like a bow and arrow over Lansing), and he ended up killing it. If you are in Michigan and you want a tattoo, you definitely should book some time with Chris. While we were there we told Chris about the trip and I told him about my plan to get tattoos in each city along the way. He’s the one who came up with the great idea of limiting either the size of the pieces (like a dollar bill folded in half) or asking for something within a particular price range. Thanks Chris!
