Just after the outline was tattooed:
The happy birthday girl:
Damion at Electric Dragonland (he did a GREAT job):
The final piece of art (click to enlarge):
The colors will be much lighter and brighter once the healing is complete (1-2 weeks). All of that green will turn into the green known in our family as "Grama green" (the color of her green VW bug) which is 100% appropriate for her. She couldn't have chosen better colors or a better design.The final verdict: She LOVES it! And thought that it didn't hurt that bad... :)
We joked about having another item checked off of her proverbial "bucket list" as we enjoyed some raspberry chocolate chip ice cream at Sebastian Joe's afterwards. What's on your bucket list?

Wow..she is a braver woman than I am! My 2 oldest boys have tattoos and I am always amazed. Second son got a small heart with MOM in in on his chest one time. Looks too painful to me.
My bucket list is shorter for sure since I got Mona. Having my own milk cow was at the top of my list. I had already had a horse, and a few other things that were on the list.
I do want to visit Alaska some day, grow my hair down to my butt, get a picture with ALL 7 of my kids in it (and clean), and have my own jeep..and not a crummy one. Thats all.
I have one and it hurt like a MOE-FOE! That is THE COOLEST GRANNY EVER!!! Happy Birthday!
I too recently got my first tattoo for my 62nd BD. a gift from my daughter. it's a beautiful butterfly on the back of my shoulder & I LOVE IT!!! my hubby thinks it's very sexy.
I am now looking forward to a second one. as my other daughter says "they're like potato chips...you can't eat just one" Ha!!
