Big Baby!


One upon a drunken spring break day in Mexico with more than a few beers in me, I drew a sunshine and explained the colors, rojo and anarillo that I wanted my sunshine tattoo done in. Maybe not the wisest choice, but heck, I was young and carefree!

So I have talked about perhaps getting some different there for about 6 of the last seven years....and....

Lots of sweating....
Heart is racing...

Kind of want to vomit....

Trying to breathe....

Need some orange juice...

Trying to relax but my tense body won't listen...
"Are we done yet?"

...and two hours and fifteen minutes of sheer pain later.....











Yup, got myself a new tattoo and yet another excuse to slack on my swim sessions. (No swimming 2-4 weeks while it heals!! I figured I better get it now as I could not take 2-4 weeks off closer to the season! Now I just need to get my body is to kick ass shape to show it off when I wear my bikini!!

Wow, you are so much braver than me! I want to get a tat post-IM and while it may be in the same location as yours, it will be much smaller.

It is very pretty! Very cool!

Dad has not heard about it yet!!!

Sis wanted to share the news Saturday at his birthday party, but I did not think he needed a heart attack for his birthday!!!

Man, every time I see it I'm amazed at how vivid the colors are!

Congrats on the tat!

Gorgeous. I have a tiny ladybug in the same spot which is starting to fade. I have been toying with adding to it for almost as long as you have. I think your doing it might be the kick in the pants I need!!!
