my new tattoo!

I have been meaning to get this tattoo for 6 years now. 7 years ago, on Aug 16, 2005 my grandmother passed away. She meant the world to my sisters and I, so we all decided to get a tattoo in her memory - 'Nonna' which means grandmother in Italian. My sisters both got theirs while I was pregnant with Isabella. I waited WAY too long to get mine. The two birds represent Isabella and Simon. I know my grandmother is watching over them. I just wish she could have met them...

Here is my tattoo with a few before/during shots:

the first couple of minutes hurt like a b*tch, then my arm went numb and it was okay after that

  11. After finishing the tattoo the artist will again clean the tattoo area and apply some type of antibiotic ointment and then it will be covered with a bandage. Congratulations! You now have a new tattoo. It will take a few days to heal but soon you will be able to remove the bandage and show off your new art. purple lotus

  26. I in all actuality do in no way, shape or form need to guarantee that the craft of tattooing spread from Europe to Burma since it would - I think - be somewhat stupid to expect that tattooing began at one explicit spot and began to spread all through the world then and from that point.scar camouflage
