One of the things I mentioned recently in one of my sporadic post for last month was the new tattoo/redone tattoo that SIR orchestrated.  I have been lamenting the fact that I wanted to get my tattoo redone…for years now actually.  My biggest complaint was that it had faded quite a bit and it was not exactly what I had originally wanted.  The gentleman who did the tattoo made a very derogatory remark while he was doing it….he made the comment that he did not like tattooing “big girls”.  Keep in mind that at the time I must have been only a size 12 and weighed about 140….. and even when I am at my smallest of 120…I have a huge curvy round ass.  So large or small….I have an ass.  The tattoo sits at the lower part of my spine.  The “artist” took advantage of the fact that I could not see what he was doing when he did it 10 years ago and instead of delicate soft lines…he did thick ones…and he turned the tattoo so that it was placed at an angle, not straight.

Anyway…we were at supper one night and our daughter said….SOOOOO what are we doing this weekend ???….SIR said…your mother is getting a tattoo….I was floored to say the least.   But excited…. very excited.  SIR was telling me I was getting a tattoo….how awesome.  I was amazed.   

Of course darling daughter wanted to know if she could have one….lol.  We just smiled, I figured we would just yank her chain a little. We did discuss with her why she wanted one….and where..and she runs to the computer and comes back this these photos she had printed out of what she wants.  (She had already been told that when she was 18 she could pierce or tattoo anything she wanted …after she moved out.) Shes been saving ideas for a while now.

 Sir and I did discuss my tattoo issue and I wanted to know was I supposed to get anything special per his request.  He said no…but that you have been wanting to have your tattoo redone for a while now…and it was time.  (I had wanted to wait until I was smaller….LOL  I did not want a repeat of last time at all. )  I wanted to change the flower as much as possible, and do something colorful, but delicate.  There was a tattoo festival with artist from all over that weekend, and SIR and darling daughter had heard the ads on the radio and we went to it the first evening it opened, but due to the age of our daughter ws we could not let her get one there with me.  She had to be 18 at the show.  We went to a local place that I had been told good things about by others who have had their tattoos done there.  They took a look at what I currently had, and then asked what I was looking for.  The gentleman took a quick photo and then sat down at a light board and drew some ideas, and I loved it.  I made a couple of changes, and it was a done deal.  It was late at that point and daughter was scheduled to have her simple design done in a few minutes, and I made an appointment to have mine done at the festival the following day. 

So the first three photos are of the original tattoo…taken the day before I had it done, and the second two are from the reworked tattoo the day after it was done…. I love it…so does SIR.  Since it is in a location where SIR sees it more often than I do….I am very pleased with how it turned out.

I think the tattooist did an amazing job…what do you think??

 While speaking with the tattooist who was doing darling daughters…he mentioned ultraviolet ink…in addition to regular inks they use.  That they glow under a black light, but are not colored otherwise.  I think that is something to look into.  Who knows what I might have tattooed next.
