Inked

I love tattoos.  There is something about them that just draws me in and makes me happy.  It had been so long since I last got one, way before Dom.  I'd say proably about 5 years ago.  For Christmas last year, Rob said he'd get me a one but I just couldn't decide what I wanted.  But the wait is finally over.

Last night, Dom had a "parents night out" at his school.  This basically means we pay $35.00 and he gets to stay at school with his other friends until 10pm and they watch movies, play games, eat hot dogs and ice cream.  Rob and I went to our favorite sushi restaurant for dinner (sushi wave) and then headed for the tattoo shop (outer limits.)  I decided on a bow underneath my "blessed" tattoo. 

Either I forgot how painful it can be or I'm just getting old.  The outline wasn't too bad, but the shading was pretty intense.  The artist didn't exactly have a light hand either, so that didn't help.  It took about 45 minutes and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I have at least three more that I want to get.  My "family" half sleeve, something for Dominic and something for Lanie.  But I need to wait until I have funds first, this is an expensive hobby!
