My tattoo

This is the tattoo I got the day before yesterday. I had mom snap a pic of it, so if it looks a little wonky, it's because I was contorted in the corner of the bathroom. Also, there's a little bit of scabbing that might be starting in a couple areas. EEEEEW, sorry, TMI!! But it still has to "settle" so the colors will get more muted. It was painful, but not as much as the one I got on my ankle, for some odd reason. But yep, this is for my daddy.

  4. Thanks guys!! Yes, he was a great daddy. Although he is gone, I know, without a doubt, that he is still "around" ;-).

  6. LOL!!! Linda, oh it hurt alright. But let me tell you, it was even more painful being forced to listen to rap music while he did it :-/.

  9. Kiva, I thought I have seen too many rose tattoos but no, yours is gorgeous! Looks like quite a big one too. I like it very much! Really feel like going to have another but did you say the one at the ankle hurt? That's where I will want mine.

  10. Kiva It is lovely. Really wonderful. My daughter got another one the other day. It was her 20th birthday. She got " I love you" in my handwriting. Yours for your Dad is awesome and very special. Hugs~ Kim

  11. Thanks Grace! It was a different bloke. The ankle guy freehanded that mendhi looking design around the boring butterfly (I went in wanting a simple vine with leaves kinda thing and came away with something much different, although I do like it!). That one was more of a spur of the moment thing, although I had been thinking about it for a couple days. With the daddy tattoo, something I'd been wanting for a few years, I went to someone about a week beforehand and told him what I wanted, then went back and he showed me the stencil.

    Grace, this is bad. I really want another one!!!

  12. Thanks Cindy!!! I still want to see yours!!

    Patty, why am I not surprised that your kids have tatts ;-)? You have a wonderfully crazy household, I just know it!

    Thank you Susan!! You have to get another one, STAT!! The ankle hurt like a mother, I must admit. I almost wish I was under anaesthesia, lol!! But you can do it!! Just try entering into a Buddhist meditative state or something ;-). I've always had a thing for classic looking tattooos. For example, I LOVE the pinup girl look.

    Kim, that is SO GREAT!!! What a special thing that is!! If my dad were still alive, that is something I would have LOVED to have done. His handwriting was a little illegible, but I wouldn't have cared, lol!!!
