Or, rather, me.  My daughter is turning 18 next week, and a long time ago I promised her that we'd get a tattoo together on her birthday.  As this is a fact she has never let me forget, I am now looking at actually having to go through with it. 

I've wanted a tattoo for a while, actually.  I'm the only member of my family without one, though I am hoping that my experience is better than theirs.  Ahem.  Yep.   Also,

 So anyway, I am still pretty undecided as to what I want to get.  I know I don't want something stupid, like a chinese symbol or a butterfly, and I'm definitely not getting a tramp stamp.

Give me some ideas!  And Nutbutter, no matter how many times you send me pictures of your name in Old English Script, it just isn't going to happen.

You should get a penguin! I got McPants a penguin bath toy for Christmas, that has a little fan in the back that makes it whizz around the tub madly. Though a bath toy isn't as permanent as a tattoo, I guess.

It's the one on the far right.

It's tiny, barely noticeable as a tattoo, and probably won't hurt too badly. Also, whenever someone's being a drama king or queen, you can just crook your finger in a gesture of sympathy.

Well, today is the day my little girl turns 18!  I, of course, am sick and we have had to postpone the tattoo trip to next week.  She's decided to get a picture of an egyptian goddess on her left shoulderblade - she's always liked egyptian mythology, and the goddess she's chosen is Sekhmet.  This is somehow a representation of herself and her chosen career, as my daughter is a medic in the Army National Guard, and Sekhmet is the goddess of destruction, but for her friends, she does magical healing or something.

I still haven't chosen a tattoo, but I'm thinking something involving stars on my shoulder.  Maybe one for each of my children.

Here's my daughter's tattoo.  I took this picture with a cell phone, so I apologize for the quality.  This is right before it got covered up, and it was still pretty red from bleeding.

I ended up with two very small, simple stars on my right shoulder - a blue one for my son and a red one for my daughter.  When I finalize the adoption of my new little girl, she has said she wants hers to be white, so soon I'll look more patriotic than I planned, but it's all good.

Being someone with many tattoos the best advice I can give to anyone is do not window shop for them, because you get what you pay for.

 Cheap prices = Cheap work.

When I got my first tattoo (about 10 years ago, I'm 31 now) I asked around and found out there was an award winning highly acclaimed tattoo artist about 30 miles from hwere I was living at the time by the name of James Clements.

Each tattoo artist is different of course, but having hung out with James for a while and getting to know him on a personal level he was the type that enjoyed using his imagination and was willing to create something unique especially for you if you asked him to, instead of the Shakespeare that you can pick off the wall.

So all my tatttoos are one of a kind, and I certainly take pride in that alone.

Here are a few:

I've got a couple of more but no photos of them at the moment.

I've spent many hours hanging around tattoo shops and speaking with different artist, and the main thing they all have in common (besides tattooing of course) is when someone comes in and says something to the likes of  "Hey, I have this idea...so use your creativity, lets see what you got."

They get off on that Shakespeare, and of course you can always decline whatever they draw up if you aren't happy with it or just make a suggestion on what they can do to make it something you will be happy with.

It will make it a much better experience for everyone and you'll have a tattoo that you won't regret 20 years from now.
