Newly Tattooed
Thanks to John Cothrane at American Ink on Brainerd Road, I have a gorgeous new tattoo. I'm ever so glad he was available yesterday. The one year anniversery of my grandmother's death is Tuesday, the family is coming in town to observe, and I really wanted to mark the visit and anniversery with something kick ass and happy. It's been a year of death, sadly enough, and more unfortunately, the phenomenon hasn't been limited to my family. The tattoo specifically honors my grandmother and grandfather who passed on this year, but I sure don't mind the Day of the Dead imagery honoring others whose funerals I've attended this year.
On another note, I was ever so impressed with American Ink. I was despairing at finding a really consistantly good shop in town, and had even checked out Lone Wolf up in Nashville recently. But John is talented and happily does custom work. He reworked ideas I had sketched out and made them ten times better. The prices are pretty darn fair too. Check it out if you're considering getting work done.

nice. We'll have to work this in to the next Trash the Dress shoot. I've heard those things can hurt for a while. Hope it doesn't.

I'm pretty stiff and sore. Right now (this morning) the skin itself hurts from a failed attempt at sleeping on my stomach (don't know why that didn't go very well) but mostly it's my muscles that hurt from trying to hold my skin away from things.
I hope it clears up somewhat in time for a trip to Denver later this week. >.
