This Time Last Year...

... I got a tattoo! Well around this time last year, anyway. Some of you have seen the pics, some of you have not. Let's face it, I just like strolling down memory lane with you guys. I plan to do it on a regular basis, since there isn't always a whole heck of a lot going on in the present. This is the experience:

On the way:

Brittany was excited too:

Brittany got me a corsage for the occasion:

Krissy was there for moral support:

My scared face:

(Denise brought me a lollipop - apparently it's good to keep your blood sugar up)

This was the tattoo artist:

(Not a dainty flower)

Within the first moments:

Photobucket
It's not so bad!

Photobucket
Ok, it's a bit irritating.

At the end:

Photobucket
I wish she would stop doing that now.

Photobucket
Yay, all done!

Photobucket
"I belong to the Lord"

Denise is an old pro:

Photobucket
Paz y Amor (Peace and Love) - and pretty flowers!

The end.

Way to go beating anyone who'd want to give you the mark of the beast to the punch! Is that in Hebrew?

Ha ha I thought of that too.

Yes, it's Hebrew. I actually was inspired by Isaiah 44:5, which says "...and one of them will write on his hand, 'I am the Lord's.'"

Some translations say "with his hand" instead of "on," but I took it and ran with it anyway. :) Although I didn't want it on my actual hand, because that's kind of intense, so I went with the wrist.
