Tattoosday 5 & 6


Mark took several shots of this but none of them turned out really crisp. They all seem to have a slight blur. Oh well, you get the idea anyway. This is the last tattoo blog for me, until I get my next one done. We'll see if I can cover Mark's next week... I'm only posting one of my last two. It's just words--no pictures on this one. It's the first AR tat I got, and while I still love it, I wish I had gotten it about three times bigger than it is. It's on my upper left shoulder/back (I'm not quite sure how to explain it) and says simply, "Meat is Murder". I am an avid font collector. One can never have too many fonts, especially when they are free. "Murder" is in a cool font I downloaded with little blood drippings sprinkled about. I actually had initially selected a bold block font for the "Meat is" portion, but when I got to the shop (this one was done at Diamond Ted's, before I knew Austin very well), Ted suggested this cool reversed shadow font instead. I really liked it, so we switched to that. Actually, Ted's wife Holly, who I went to high school with did this tat, and Ted did my first one (the scorpion). My only non animal rights tattoo is my first one, and I'm not posting a pic of that. It's a purple scorpion. It's on my lower abdomen, by my hip bone, and I no longer care to show that area to others. :D I got my scorpion when I was 18, because I am a Scorpio. I still like it and definitely don't regret it, but it was cuter before my pregnancies!
Not feeling very chatty tonight. Teenagers suck!
