I got a tattoo! I really did it... and surprised a lot of people :) I have to say that its even better than I ever imagined it would be, and I'm really happy with it. Here's some pics...

Here's Bry at work, and notice that I'm not tied, duct taped or strapped to the chair! I sat voluntarily during the whole thing!

Here's the finished product, fresh off the chair! This was taken just as it was finished, so its still a bit gooey... but looks soooooooo good! I LOVE IT!!!

The whole reason that I got this tattoo was that I wanted something that would represent the kids. I've wanted a tattoo for a very long time, but wanted to be really sure that it was something that meant a lot to me, not just a random piece of art that would be with me forever. I decided that I wanted something to represent the kids. I didn't want to have their names or anything obvious tattooed on me so I tried to think of something else that made me think of them. As their birthdays are in December, I wanted something that made me think of that time. There was Santa, presents, Christmas trees (that would just look really stupid) and then I thought of snowflakes. Each one different, each one unique, just like my boys. And the hands are me holding them - catching them for now, then letting them go when they get older.

I told Joey that the big snowflake is him because he's the oldest one and the big brother, and that the little snowflake is Chris. Kinda really represents them - the big one is skinny and the little one is so "round"! Love it!

Did it hurt??? OH YEAH! But it was worth it. It didn't hurt the whole time, and it wasn't enough to make me cry, but every now and then Bry had to get me to move back on the chair because I kept wiggling away from him without even noticing! I kept on saying that this was my first tattoo, but it will now be my only tattoo. I don't think I'll get anymore, but I'm thrilled with what I have :)

So anyone else thinking of getting one now? Go see Bry at Thrive :)
