Well, I did it. I am now an indelibly marked woman. A couple days ago we went and got tattoos, and I think my Twitter feed does a pretty good job of telling the story. Enjoy! (and let me know what you think of my new ink!)
[the night before]
# So I told my mom about me getting my first tattoo tomorrow, and she didn’t quote Leviticus at me! Score! 11:53 PM Aug 2nd via OpenBeak# She also wasn’t that surprised, as I’ve wanted one since I was 18. I suppose giving her 14 years to get used to the idea was long enough. 11:56 PM Aug 2nd via OpenBeak

# As my artist started in, I asked her which part of the body was the most painful. She said the calf. Info I shoulda had beforehand. #ow August-03-10 12:58:55 PM via OpenBeak

Haa! Oscar saw the picture and said “Becky have boo boo.” Then he blew kisses at it to make you feel better. (He also said “ladybug” and “other foot,” so I think he still likes it.) Congrats!
Ikes. I could NEVER do that. I am WAY too big of a wuss, and WAY too conventional. I prefer to admire them on other people. (Lovely, by the way. I adore the ladybug. If I ever got a tattoo it would be a daisy with a ladybug. I know. Conventional. What can I say?)
