You've heard it right boys and girls, the boy is deployed and it's time to get another tattoo! I, of course, couldn't be more eager. He, of course, is always more trepidicious. My original goal for the last forever years has been a forearm crochet tattoo. I can cross my eyes and practically feel the ball of yarn cradling a hook and nestling itself onto my left forearm. It's going to be teal blue and vibrant and lush.
Then the reality driven adult side of my brain kicked in. My other tattoos are fully visible, when I want them to be and 'professionally' covered up when I'm doing my military connected job. So 'professional' regardless of my desire to be a free bird in a muckymuck world. I. Want. A. Sleeve!. footstompkickkickwhine.
Instead of using the forearm I'm going to get it on the top of my left foot and I'm going to get a little more detail work on it. Not only will I incorporate a lovely hooking tat like HERE, HERE and HERE but I'm also going to work in my mother's maiden name and my maiden name (also known as my mother's married name/dad's last name.) Since I am a piece of my father and my mother and it was my grandmother's that gave me this addiction I thought it would be a nice touch.
I am super excited and at the suggestion of many friends am going to check out a local place called CuteandUgly! Her store is a cute and evil dark Alice and Wonderland vibe. If the chica that runs it is half as cool as her site depicts I may be a repeat offender. I have sent her an email querying an appointment time and will keep you all posted.
While looking up tattoo suggestion I fell into a new craft retro love. Isn't she brilliant? The photo links to the site.
