My First Tat.....

Well! I did it! I got my very first tattoo!!

A birthday pressie from my SIL!! Thank you Josh! You Rock!!

As you can see in the photo the tat is fresh...this photo was taken right after my SIL finished the tat! So it is still a bit puffy and red! There are some little spots that might need some touching up after it heals a bit! It's a bit tender, but it wasn't really all that bad at least not as bad as I had thought originally! For those of you who haven't had a tat and always wanted one, it is only the outlines that hurt a bit...not too bad...NO I didn't cry LOL I did make a few faces...when it comes to filling the tat in and shading it's a breeze!!! Now I want another one...possibly a puffy heart with a banner like ribbon going through the center of the heart with my first Grandbaby Gabriels name spelled out on the ribbon! I designed this one...my SIL added his own special touch to it ...I am also going to design the next one! :)

I hope to get more photos of this so you can see the whole view of it...see inside the chainlike links is all 6 of my childrens first initial (one initial per link) boys on one side and girls on the other going from oldest to youngest!

Both my little girls made me birthday cards and pressies from the heart(those are the best) my ten year old daughter brought me her card and pressie just as I was getting ready for my tat and she said, "Now you must wait till your done with your tattoo and then you can open them." I was okayyyyyyy what is this girl up too....well....Now I know why she wanted me to wait....I opened the card later on and the outside it read, "Happy Birthday Oatmeal Butt" OHHHH! Now I know why she wanted me to wait...so that I wouldn't chase her down give her a pinch! Orneryness she is! Honestly I don't know where she gets it from! ;O)  The lovely and obnoxious Lia aka Art Junk Girl deemed me with the nick name of Oatmeal Butt....I think you've all heard the story about that! Right?! My daugther had made oatmeal one day and had it sitting on the couch (why I dont know) and she had something I needed to look at and without knowing the bowl of extremely hot oatmeal innocently sitting on the couch...I sat down...RIGHT IN IT!! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeowwwwwwwww! LMAO Burned my bum! *laughing* So ya that is how I got that nick name! Thank you LIa! Ya bratwoman!! lol hee hee

I wanted to Thank all of you for your lovely comments and birthday wishes! Each and everyone of them made my day! Every present I received was from the heart! SO COOL! So yes! It was a fabulous birthday!! I think my family will be doing more of gifts from the heart for our next Christmas instead of store bought items! We have discussed *spell check* this and we all like the idea! There are so many talents in this house and the imagination is limitless!

With that I am off to do who knows what...probably some art! :D

Much Love and Hugs!
