I did it again....

I went to Oklahoma to pick the kids up from Mom's and decided to stay a few days. While I was there I had plans to go lose some money at the casino which I did. I also had plans to look for a good local tattoo artist. Now honestly I really didn't think that I would find being that I was in oklahoma and all! On top of that I didn't actually plan on getting a new tattoo just yet. I was just browsing. My Mom and I had talked about getting new tattoos. I had even found something I wanted. I also wanted to find someone to fix my Mom's first one. She got it about 10 years ago and it was suspose to be a yellow rose. Sadly it looked like a piece of popcorn. We did some searching in the phonebook and found the myspace page of and artist I was actually pretty impressed with. His shop is in a town not too far from my Mom's so we decided to ride over there and just see how much things would cost and if his work was as impressive in person. so my Mom and I go in and look around. Then we talked to the tattoo guy, John is his name, about price and time and such. I'm thinking, "Ok so we'll come back when I come back for July 4th." That's when my Mom says, "Ok lets do it today!" I'm thinking sure we'll get her's fixed and I'll come back for mine later but Mom said no! So we have a new tattoo and I personally think the tattoo guy did a pretty good job considering the picture came from a tee shirt and I had him change some things. My Mom's tattoo is now a red rose instead of a yellow one. And the kicker? It ACTUALLY looks like a ROSE! I don't have a picture of hers but I can give you a look at mine. :) The first picture has a glare and the second picture makes it look crooked but it's not.



And in case you couldn't tell it's on my left shoulder.

Cool tattoo! He did a good job. Did your mom get another or just the other one fixed?

Thanks! She got her old one fixed this time. She's getting a new one when we come back in a few weeks.
