A new steampunk tattoo

My cousin Dylan came for another visit. This means I had to partake of his services as an amazing tattoo artist. I am so glad I did because he went above and beyond what I expected. I asked him to do This Design for my tattoo. He asked me if he could tweak it just a tiny tiny bit. I said sure, why not. I trust him since I know he is an amazing artist with or without a tattoo gun. Without further adeiu or however it's spelt...

He went above and beyond what I had expected from him. It will look better once the smudged ink washes off. I told him to forget me giving him things I want done, he can just design all my steampunk tattoos now. You're the best Dylan, One Love.

I got a tattoo

Let me first explain. I had a tattoo before, still have it. However, it was made with a homemade tattoo gun made from a pen with a needle and a tiny motor from something or other. It hurt like hell and I sat on frozen bags of peas to numb my ass for it. Yes, it's a star on my ass and it hurt really bad. I'm a real wimp when it comes to pain... You'd think after having 4 kids, I'd be a bit stronger.

Now, after 18 years, I've did it. I got a real tattoo by a real tattoo artist. I thought it would have hurt as much as the first one but it didn't. The only time it hurt enough to make me grind my teeth together and grab the chair's Oh Shit Bar was when he was doing the tiny details near a spot he'd done before. I found the design using Google Images and it was from someone on Deviantart.net. I was going to have it colored but I think it looks really nice the way it is.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

I certainly did. Hubby got me zombie books, video games and some movies. He knows me so well, he even gave me the gift of cleaning the kitchen after our Christmas dinner. Do you know how long it's been since I didn't have to do those dishes? The oldest two girls got their netbooks, the younger two got everything they wanted.

New Years was wonderful as well, the hubby got it off so we could be together. In the 10 years we've been together, we've had 2 and a half New Years together. He even bought me a bottle of something I've been wanting to try for years, Absinthe. OMG is that shit ever strong.

I'm getting a lot of hassle from friends and family about my 8yr old. Yesterday, my husband gave her the hair cut she's been bugging me for since November. Personally, I think she looks cute with it and it is only hair. Better to have her experiment with her hair and washable tattoos than drugs and sex. And if you don't think it's possible, you should hear some of the young boys around her age. Anyways, here's her new hair.
