Got Ink?

Fresh Ink

A week ago, Two friends and I went to a tattoo shop. Only 2 of the 3 were actually going to get work done. Ashley, my kid sister/ other daughter/ dear friend and I have been planning this day for awhile. Tami would NEVER consider the idea of this "mutilation" but came as support and comic relief. Now, this is not my first tattoo... I commemorated my 40th birthday with one before (actually two). A black cat on the back of my neck and a paw print on my upper right back matching the one my daughter got on her back hip.
Knowing what my next tattoo would be was not the trouble, just the idea of where and HOW it was going to look. That was my dilemma. But I knew it had to have color! So when the sketch was done by Joel at "Black Atlas" in Fort Collins, CO- it all came together and within 3 hours, I had new art on my body.
The plumeria flowers are significant in many ways. I love that they are strong in sturdiness, fragrance and beauty! When Dave & I went to Maui, I fell in love with the flower and knew then it was a tattoo choice for sure. I got 4 to symbolize each family member, and I am able to admire my work of art in a mirror or by simply looking to my left shoulder. I LOVE IT!!
