New Tattoos!

New Tattoos!

Hi! This past weekend was so super fun because Johnny’s Aunt Eileen was in town and we had big plans… To get tattoos together! As soon as she texted me a while back ago with this idea, it was an automatic YES and I was able to schedule an appointment for all of us with my amazing tattoo artist. It is always exciting to get some new ink but this was an especially thrilling tattoo session because Johnny’s aunt is seventy-three and this would be her second tattoo. We were so honored to take part in it! Johnny and I opted for quick and easy tats while Aunt Eileen went big and didn’t go home. Check it out:

When we made these plans with Johnny’s aunt, I knew exactly what I wanted. Something to honor my beloved neighbor and best friend who passed away in February, Tony. I decided on getting his handwriting thanks to an abundance of birthday and Christmas cards and am so beyond happy with out it turned out. I brought my tattoo artist, Emily, one of these cards that had “Love” and his signature and requested that she add in “always” the best she could. Tony would always sign off his texts with “love always” and a heart emoji and it never ceased to make me smile! In an ingenious move, Emily pieced together “always” from the other letters in the card and it is absolutely perfect. This tattoo took barely ten minutes to complete but it is so special to me and I love having a piece that makes me feel close to my ride or die. ❤

Johnny also went the short and sweet route with his tattoo so the focus could be on Aunt Eileen’s leg blaster. To fill in a spot that was driving him crazy on his wrist, he got a scythe with a crescent moon that was just right to plug the gap. Then, it was onto Aunt Eileen! Pansies and butterflies would make up her tattoo but she also had a hilarious idea… Prior to this appointment, her husband made a joke for the skull she was getting to not look too cartoony. So, she decided to have Emily add in a little skull to her flowers as a gag. I genuinely cannot with her!!! 😀

Aunt Eileen’s tattoo took a little under two hours and I think everyone in the shop was impressed. She sat like a rock! Not once did she complain or show any discomfort whatsoever and all we had to say was, you go girl! During the entire afternoon we were talking away and laughing constantly that, before we knew it, Emily announced that she only had five minutes left to go. My tattoo artist is a true master of her craft and we were blown away by the end results of Aunt Eileen’s pansy piece. It turned out so beautifully and that skull is everything. I have a feeling we will be in Emily’s chair every time she comes to visit!

A tattoo tradition started last weekend and I am one hundred million percent there for it. I wonder what we will all get next!!

How old were you when you got your first tattoo? Do you have an upcoming tattoo appointment? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Tattoos I Want!!!!

Tattoos I Want!!!!

Hello one and all! I hope you had a fabulous Monday! First things first, I just have to share this Wale song that I’ve been so obsessed with lately. It’s been on repeat all day, and I haven’t gotten annoyed yet!

^^^ This song used to play at PacSun when I worked there, and I loved it so very much, so I was really hyped when I heard it on the radio the other day. Give me love baby, NOT ENOUGH NOT ENOUGH JUST A TOUCH BABY!!!!! (Better believe I used to scream that part at my coworkers!!)

ANYWHO, there’s been a few tattoos that I’ve just been itching to get, so I made a few Pic Stitches today of the ideas that I’ve had as of late! (Note: All of these ideas aren’t set in stone, they’re just a hodge podge of things that I liked while I was paroosing the world wide web!)

Peter Pan: I would really love to get a Peter Pan tattoo in the future. It definitely would be a shout out to my forever friend Kate, whom you’ve read all about. Not only would it signify my friendship with her but it would really be a testament to how much I truly love the story. I’ve had the most fantastic time reading a chapter from the book every night before bed, and it’s brought me such joy and helped me escape to a happy place (Neverland, if you will! 😉 ). After reading the book, I’ve dreamed of Peter Pan quite often, and I’m so thankful that I can reach my own Neverland in my dreams!

Mermaid: My sister Kristen and I have wanted a matching tattoo for a while now, and a mermaid is the only thing we can agree on. I would absolutely love to get a water color style mermaid, preferably on my arm or my non tattooed shoulder blade. I love the idea of the mermaid having red hair, but not necessarily looking exactly like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Kristen adores Ariel though so if that’s what she wants I would be fine with that. My favorite mermaid picture in the Pic Stitch I put together is the top right one. The only thing I would change about it would be her having an actual face instead of her luscious locks covering it up. Either way, I think it’s gorgeous!

Horus: I absolutely love Egyptian gods and goddesses. In case some of you readers don’t already know, I have a side piece of the goddess Isis. I would really like to get another Egyptian piece on my non tattooed side, preferably a god. Horus has really been speaking to me as of late. I love the ties that he has to Isis, depending on what story you choose to believe he could be her brother or her son. Either way, I think it’s beautiful. Horus is said to be the god of war and hunting, kingship, and some would say most importantly the sky. I particularly love his association with the sky, because I feel like I’ve truly been shooting for the moon lately and I know that Horus will be there to offer me his protection.

So there you have it, just a few ideas that I’ve been brainstorming. I’ve posted these pictures before, but here’s a recap of the tattoos that I already have:
