Ink me up

I wanted to post a couple of photos of my most recent tattoos, which aren't so recent. The lioness on my arm was done for my birthday last July & the one on my side was done in November. That was supposed to be my last tattoo but with my father dieing, I'm thinking I'm gonna get one for him too. When I got my rosary done on my wrist for my G.ma, my dad said, "Why don't you get one done for me?" And I said, "When you die, I will." I just never thought it would be so soon, but I know he'd love it so I may get something that says "Daddy's girl" or his name or something on my ankle, but then I really need to stop because I'm running out of room. Haha.

 This tattoo was the most excruciating pain I've have ever felt in my life. It took about 5-6 hours with no break, just constant agony, but well worth it. I know you can't read it, it's Robert Frosts' "Fire & Ice" which has always been my favorite poem.

 Don't mind the sunglasses, it goes with the whole "badass" image. Cause I am you know.......a badass. :)

My lioness is my favorite tattoo to date. I get more compliments on this, & it's easy to see why. I picked out a picture of a lioness I saw online & Noelin did a fantastic job of bringing her to life on my arm. He is purely incredible. Here's the picture I found online:

Isn't it incredible? She has such poise & she's so confidant & regal. Noelin wants to do a backround on her but I think less is more, which is why I didn't get her in color. Anyway, there ya have it.

 Awe, isn't he sweet? He just texted me that & I thought I'd share. :)

Bella Rouge!!!!!! She got that ridiculously adorable coat from her great Aunt Chris & great Uncle Ed for her birthday. Unfortunately, it hasn't been cold enough for her to wear it but I had to take a picture of it because of how cute she looks! This next winter, Dave & Bella & I are going to rent a cabin in Big Bear but she'll probably be grown out of it by then. :( Oh well, at least I got the pictures!!!!
