{30 Before Thirty} My First Tattoo!

I finally got my first tattoo!!! I spent endless hours looking at tattoo ideas on Pinterest. One Saturday morning I picked the tattoo, font and showed Preston. He said I like it, let's go today. Like a true tattoo newb, I called around and booked us for the first tattoo artist that could get us in that day.  I knew if we didn't get them right then we never would.

Luckily, our tattoos turned out great and we both love them!

In the beginning, I went to great measures to cover up my tattoo at work. It worked because my boss didn't notice for many months. I still wear bracelets to hide it, but I'm not worried if it pops out.

I think I want a second tattoo. I just don't know when and if I can endure the pain! Here is what I am liking:

1. I like the location, under my wedding ring. 2. Not sure if I would have it facing this way.

1. His and hers. 2. I think I LOVE this location.

1. Love 2. Perfect design. 3. Location too risky.

My reason...
you are my anchor

Tattoo 2

Assuming I can handle the pain from tat #1, here is what I am thinking for #2.

The infinity symbol

1. This is my favorite. 2. Location, left wrist.

1. I like this version as well. 2. But something about it is holding me back.

1. Different way to make the infinity symbol. 2. I like the location and size. 3. I wonder what it would look like if I add love to the end of it?

1. I really like this location. 2. It feels a little daring. 



My reason...
our love is infinite

It's About That Time...

to get a tattoo.

I have been obsessing over it lately. If you follow me on Pinterest, chances are you have caught onto this from my recent pins. I went from wanting one to multiple. Here is what I'm thinking for my first.

1. Sorry about the boob shot. 2. I love the location, but I realized that my bra/swim suite will always cover it up. 3. Insert bird feather for peacock feather.

1. Boob shot again. 2. Better location. 3. I like the feather standing this way. 4. Insert different feather.

1. Like this feather. 2. It needs to curve the the left instead of the right.

1. I think it's a little high. 2. It might be a touch too big. 3. I like the curve to this feather.

1. I love this feather. 2. I don't like the saying. 3. I would like it to curve to the left instead of the right.


My reason....
lightness of being
