"I Want ..." Wednesdays and new ink!

So you get a combo blog post today folks! I've been lurking on swapbot for the past few days and it's really made me want to be more crafty. So... the "I Want" for this week is:

Craft Supplies!!! I always want them when I'm in Hobby Lobby but have no immediate use for them. I've just got to think of a craft I want to try so that I will have a use for them. I love the decorated matchboxes I see. So that's an idea. I also need to do a Wedding and Honeymoon scrapbook. Well that's the "I Want" for this week. I know it's kind of general but that's what "I Want" haha

So moving on to new ink. Chris tattooed some more on my fruit sleeve last night. It looks Phenomenal! He did the lemons, limes, and an apple. It took about 3 hours for those and I was ready to stop. Well here's the pics so you can check it out for yourself!

Well that's all I got for today! Hope everyone has a great day!

Juicy Watermelon!

I wanted to do a quick post to share with you guys what an Amazing tattoo artist my husband is! He did some more work on my fruit sleeve today and it's going to look so good. Check out that Watermelon!!!

He also thickened the lines up on some of the others in preparation for the next color session.

Well stay tuned for more Awesomeness!!!

Just working...

Today hasn't been too eventful. I did a page in my "Wreck this Journal". I did the Stand Here page. It's not that impressive though because my flip flops weren't that dirty. Oh well...

The arm is healing up nicely. I'm hoping it will start peeling tomorrow. I'm using Mama Dixie's left hand tattoo balm for the first time. I'm liking it so far. The thing I like the most is it's not as greasy as A&D but it keeps your tattoo moisturized all day.

Chris is tattooing Robby today. He's coloring on his bio piece and it's coming along nicely.

I think there's going to be some DePalma's action later! Pasta + Wine + Me= Happy Camper!

Well that's all I've got for now. If there's enough wine consumed then be ready for tomorrow's installment. It will probably be way more exciting than this one. If there is a hangover there might not be one at all haha...

Fruit Time!!!

So yesterday was a fun day. We had been planning on starting my fruit sleeve on Thursday. Well things changed and we did the outline yesterday. I was super excited because I had been wanting it since Chris finished the drawing on Friday!

It took a while to get the fruits lined up in all the places that he wanted them. We got started around 4:00 and finished a few minutes after 9:00. I was actually thinking it was going to take longer than it did. So that was a pleasant surprise. It really wasn't too painful compared to other parts of my body that I've had tattooed. I would say the most painful part was the inner elbow crack. Ok pictures!

So that's what I did with my Monday :)

The Beginning

I've been tossing around the idea of starting a blog for weeks now. So today looks like the day it's going to happen. This isn't the first blog I've ever had but I hope it will be the best! I get kind of lazy with these things after a few months. So if you people like what you read you might have to harass me about it if I start slacking.

The title of this blog might change. Especially if we have some conversation over a few Margaritas. Haha. Tattoos and burlesque are definitely a huge part of my daily life but I know I can come up with something a little more clever, so bear with me.

Well I hope you've enjoyed the first post. They can only get better....I hope :)
