Tattoosday – Part 3

Continuing my addiction obsession body art… This next tattoo is a very special one. It is a memorial tattoo for my oldest son Cameron, who passed away in 2014 when he was only 25 years old. He had this Celtic cross tattoo, although I’m not sure where, I’ve never seen it myself, and to honor him, Cameron’s wife Nicole and my younger son Nicholas both got the tattoo (with the added text). Nicole on her ribs, and Nick on his forearm. I had always planned to get it, too, but it took a while to decide and be sure where, and in 2022 I finally had it done, too.

And last August came this little heart / flower / butterfly (which I still need to get touched up. (I used a filter when editing the picture, which makes the tattoo look a bit faded)

Stay tuned for the Tattoosday Grand Finale, My next session for my London tattoo is later today and I’m hoping he will be able to get it finished.


Tattoosday – Part 2

As they say, tattoos are addicting, and next came this little ladybug, which is covering up the little heart tattoo.

Then this beautiful hip / thigh tattoo

These next two I had done on the same day because neither took very long.


Tattoosday – Part 1

That’s a thing, isn’t it?
I have a little “show me yours and I’ll show you mine” agreement with Karma, and I’ve already posted about my first three tattoos here, so I will post my other ones in the next few weeks, with my (as of yet unfinished) London tattoo as the grand finale… because it deserves a post all of its own.

Next came a little flower growing out of my shoe (the bit where the leaf is? HURT!! Ow) and a small heart, that I technically still have…but it’s been covered up with another one.

And then a lotus / lace design on my stomach

Pro tip: do NOT insist on going back the next day for touch ups because you’re too impatient to wait, Because it will hurt.like.he**!

My next one was a seashell on the top of my foot. Funny story there… about half way through tattooing, my tattoo artist must have assumed it hurt (which of course it did, but it wasn’t that bad) and – without asking – put a numbing gel on. Which stung like crazy! I looked at him and said “what did you do that for?! I didn’t need it and the stinging is worse than the tattooing!”
