Here's the third tattoo

Here is it, the third tattoo, done on Wednesday 19th at approx. 10am. Isn't it gorgeous? It took about 2hrs to do and I just love it!

The redness is already beginning to subside and it'll lighten up once it's healed.

It represents my daughter, her middle name is rose, the happy/sad masks are for the times being a parent makes me laught/cry and the sun and moon are because she's my whole world.

Enjoy...

Third Tattoo Imminent

The third tattoo is almost here, it's booked for this coming Wednesday morning at 10am and I can't wait! Dying to see it all done and see what my daughter thinks of it as its a tribute to her. It's likely to take the longest time I have ever sat for so far, the others have been tiny half hour jobs but this one is gonna be about 2hrs so fingers crossed I make it... Still it is only a short spell in a lifetime and I want it soooo much that I'll just have to grin and bear it ;-)

Got some other ideas planned and will book in to get a fairy one in May, over the first bank holiday weekend. Hoping that the picture I have is not too detailed to be done the size I've printed it at but will have to see what Ben says about it. I'm sure he'll be able to sort it if it needs redrawing at all.

Anyhow will post a photo of the new tattoo when its done for all to see.

Visiting George

Here are a couple of photos from our visit to see George. The left hand one is me holding my new little Nephew and the second one is a family group, from the left, Julia, Margaret, Darren, Jo and Allan and of course hidden away in the pram is George ;-)

We had a smashing time there, got lots of cuddles with George and photos galore. He's a right little smasher and it was good to have seen him now while he still looks like a newborn - they don't stay like that for long.

New Nephew

Here's the first piccies of my gorgeous nephew who arrived a month early on the 27th Jan 08, just two days before my b'day! He weighed in at 5lb 7.5oz and made his appearance just before 2am.

His proud Mom & Dad are Jo and my brother Darren - well done guys ;-)

We are all waiting to go up and see him now that he's home from hospital, he's tiny but doing real well.

Desperate for Ink!

Hi peeps,

This tattoo lark is well addictive, my paw prints done at Xmas are pretty much healed now, next week will be 6 weeks I think and apart from adding a touch of cream every now and then to stop it feeling dry it's fine. So am now gagging to get the third tatt done, one to represent my relationship with my daughter and having had a sneaky peak at what my tattoo guy has sketched out for me (based on my good mate Amber's drawings) it looks awesome and I can't wait ;-) Going to hopefully book it in tomorrow for Easter and then get the ankle ones done before our summer holiday so they are ready to show off if we are lucky enough to get weather for wearing shorts this year. Also toying with a possible back piece as I bought my first tattoo magazine at the weekend and was amazed at some of the tatts in there. I loved my dog Max, a sheltie, and have a wonderful photo of him so will ask Ben if it would be possible to use it for a tattoo. Not going to do anything about that one till next year maybe, it'll need thinking about as I have also looked at Native American images for inspiration as I am unsure as to what I would like.
