Tattoos and whatnot

I haven't talked about tattoos yet, so I thought I would take a break from my normal hilarity to bring you some words on tattoos.  

Side note...how the heck did Jason Aldean get on my "Dance" playlist?  No.

Changed the song and back to normal.

Here's my most recent tattoo:

IT'S AN ADORABLE GNOME!!!  

It's big...on my left thigh and I love it.  Every day I love it.

I got it for my Nana, who passed almost two years ago now.  Wow, time flies.

Story time?  Yes.

Nana loved gnomes and I got my love of gnomes from her.  She has this amazing collection of these really crinkly, dark gnomes...like seriously, over 200 of them.  Anyways, the artist that does them had a gnome called the "Elizabeth" gnome...which was her name (and also, bonus, my other grandmother's name as well!).  So, I decided I wanted this gnome to be reading a book instead of sitting on a bench, as Elizabeth gnomes are want to do.  I also got a big yellow rose because they were her favorite.  

The artist did an amazing, amazing job.  [BRAD AT ELECTRIC ART TATTOO, LEXINGTON, KY  www.art859.com]...seriously, he is amazing.  I sat through over 4 hours of crazy bleeding, swelling, and serious pain, but oh, it was worth it.  I look at it everyday and love it more.

Side note, my sister wanted a tattoo before she saw me get this one...she changed her mind.  Eh, it's not for everyone.  

Now, for the future....I have wanted an owl tattoo for EVAAAA!  My sister drew one for me and eventually I will get it.

Also, I decided the other day that I wanted an anchor on my foot.  My right foot.  To remind me to keep anchored.  I tend to get carried away with things and overwhelmed, and my mom and dad always tell me to calm down and think about it...anchor myself.  Eh?  Whitty and awesome.

I also have two others that I really want, but these two will come first.

Wooooo for tattoos!
