Bella In the City

I almost left my cell phone home today. If Moody didn’t hand it to me as I was walking out the door this morning, I surely would have. Alas, she did give me the phone, and there was a text waiting on it from one of my new school homies, Lex. She was having a tattoo party at 6 today, and asked if I could make it. I got off work at 7 so I said why not? I probably can get that NO H8 tatt that I have been talking about. Sweet.

I got off work and drove straight there.

When I got there, there was only like 2 people ahead of me. Though it was a short wait, I had time to look through the photo books. As I saw the many tattoo options, I remembered how much I have always wanted a butterfly tattoo, as well as a tattoo on my foot. I pondered this for a moment, and the rest is pretty much herstory.

My tattoo artist’s name was Gerald,  and he took about 25 minutes to complete the butterfly on my foot. I chose one that wound up being pretty big, and it’s hard to photograph the whole butterfly because of the way it curves over my foot. It had been almost 5 years since my last tattoo, and I must admit I kinda forgot how much it hurts! I didn’t shed a tear, but I really was tempted to…LOL. I did my best to show you guys how it looks. Enjoy the flicks!
