Hello and welcome if you have a love of ink then I know why you’re here. Being an artist I have had this complete fascination with tattoos and body art. Of course as you may have experienced this is your life…. You were told they were terrible and only the bad people got them. Well yes that’s the same thing I heard too. Of course my husband was against them as well. This will blow your mind but as a young adult I was told I could not have one. Yes I was grown and married and had children. Finally around 1995 I convinced him I was getting one no matter what. I would do it after work if he didn’t go along with it. Does this sound ridiculous? Yes it was… no one wants to be in a relationship and the significant other wants to control what you do, I mean to a certain extent for sure. You don’t want to do anything wrong or anything that makes them upset with you. I’m saying all this from experiences. I did get the first tattoo in 1995 a skull. 💀 YES! you heard correct. I was working at the hospital on the third floor of med-surg and I came home and told him I had an appointment in Carrollton Virginia. Well we went and it cost like $30 bucks. I know right!! Way to cheap. Then of course my family told me I would get aids, hepatitis, you name it. So I had those worries along with the fact I was the mom to four children and a husband who had got hurt at work when a backhoe had come down on him while working. Like I needed another thing to worry about. I had even worked 16 hour shifts and would crash into these vivid dreams.
Colby has got both his tattoos with girlfriends involved and he even has a tattoo gun. He even had one of his girlfriends trace over the tat, not a great idea when you’re not experienced. However one must learn……… you decide. What do I know.
Colby and his friend Carly
This is one of my son and dil friends she had sent this to me.
My son Colten
This is my elephant I had done in 2020
This is in Carrollton Virginia. David at Primal Tattoo he has done two of my tats. I highly recommend him. He has a lot of back pain like me and doing the tats are hard on the back.
This is what I got for my 50th birthday.
Peace love and bees
My daughter Crystal has a lot of tats reminds me of what I thought as a teen I would be.
This was my Thermofax I owned for making screen prints of sold it years later for a good amount.
I still have those shoes lol. It was 2020 and when we got there we didn’t have to wear the masks.
I love her tattoos she was at Amelia’s and Cody’s wedding.
I didn’t think I would make it today for the a blog post. I have been so tired lately and having been doing the 100 day project which is been a bit overwhelming lately. I know it’s supposed to be no stress but the paintings and the comprehensive part of the project is really difficult but rewarding. Nothing comes easy!
Well better go. We have been watching Ghosts series and it’s very entertaining. I have laughed a lot. Good vibes.
Much love,
