I got a new tattoo! Is this controversial? I don’t know, but I love it and wanted to share it with you.
What do you think? My friend Alice, her world-renowned tattoo-artist husband Lewie Hess, and their 3-year-old son (Scarlet’s future husband) all came to visit a few months back, and they brought along all his fancy gear to give me my tattoo in our backyard. I took pictures of the process… wanna see? Don’t click “read more” if you are faint of heart…
the machinery…
clean and prepped…
i told lewie what i was envisioning, and he drew it out for me, nailing it on the first try!
there it is…
getting inky…
working away. i was surprised by how little it hurt. i remember it hurting worse.
halfway there…
another cute baby arrived…
scarlet LOVES it. she calls it a “stamp.”
all healed up.
I know tattoos aren’t for everyone, but I am really happy with this. Though it was hard to get a pic of it for ya that wasn’t too revealing (it’s under my arm on my rib cage if you can’t tell), so i apologize for any side-boob that might seem offensive. So, do any of you have tattoos celebrating your kiddos?
