New Ink I Say


So the day that I turned 18 years old I marched into my living room and told my parents I am 18 now and tomorrow I am driving to Flagstaff and getting a tattoo. They were not very thrilled out all I told them I would be getting a hummingbird on my shoulder. Again weren't very thrilled about my choice at all oh well I said I am getting it. I love birds if you know me you know this I just love them hummingbirds are beautiful. I also enjoy sparrows and other birds as well. I have bird earrings, rings, and necklaces I just love it. So I went and I got my hummingbird tattoo which I love its colorful not huge and on my left shoulder.
Then the day came and I turned 21 I thought well I think I am going to get another tattoo on my hip that one was kinda different weird choice we wont go there but I have another one on my hip. Again my dad saw this and told me he was not thrilled but what could he do ground me uh no so he let it go. I only get them in places where I can cover them up.
So for many many years since I got my tattoo when I was 21 I really wanted to get one on my foot. Hibiscus flowers are my favorite flowers there colorful and bright and I just love them. I knew I only wanted to get one more tattoo and I really wanted it on my foot. I've seen girls before with them on their foot and I just think it looks so cute with flip flops my fav shoe of choice. So on Thursday I went down to the local tattoo shop and got it done on my foot. I am very satisfied now I really like it, it hurt but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I know a lot of you out there are thinking OMG a tattoo how tacky well I disagree. I think they are fun and beautiful and a way to express ones self. I am happy that I got it done and very satisfied with the results.

It's cute Brandi!! I did the same thing when I was 18. I ran out and got a tattoo. Not so cute now that I am 26 but hey oh well. It is one I can cover most of the time. I do like yours though!!

Good for you!
When I turned 50, to celebrate: I got a small one on my right (inner) ankle of a wreath of flowers in the shape of a heart.
I love mine too.
I have gotten a ton of compliments on it.
It did hurt a bit right over the ankle bone, but soon forgotten!
