Check out what i did!

Hello everyone! i have finally gotten my tattoo!!! i have always wanted to get aryssa's footprint tattooed after she was born, but of course had to wait until after i was done nursing. they won't tattoo you if you are nursing because you could get an infection they probably don't know if that can be passed in breast milk. well anyway i have been done nursing for 2ish months now, and finally figured out what i wanted. i got aryssa's footprint, her name, and one of her birth flowers, (cosmo). i love it! exactly what i wanted!! i got it on top of my left foot, ( i already have a snap dragon flower on the top of my right foot in memory of my grandma.) you can check out this post if you want to see it and my other tattoos. anyway like i said i had finally figured out what i wanted, and since both grant and i had off on friday i thought that would be a perfect day. and since aryssa starts swim lessons in 2 weeks if i didn't get it soon i would have to wait until swim lessons were done so that i didn't wreck my tattoo. so off we went to the tattoo shop i brought in aryssa's footprint from the hospital, told the artist her name, and the birth flower i wanted, he found a pic online that i like, drew up a sketch and tada a beautiful tattoo :) so here it is!!
Here is a pic of the left side...and FYI the side of your foot is very tender!



Here is a close up of her name and foot print. the tattoo guy didn't put any of the cracks in the print because he said it sometimes looks goofy,(plus aryssa had super tiny feet! this is the exact size/ shape just without the lines) so he just shaded the whole thing without an outline or anything. i love it like this!here is the right side another portion of a flower around her name.
and here is a whole picture of the masterpiece. it is still pretty swollen but not too sore anymore.
so that was our adventurous Friday! lol today we are going to a local (my hometown) fair. grant got two free admission tickets from work so we figured why not! on sunday we have our nieces 1st birthday party, and then on monday we have our other nieces 3rd birthday party! so a busy weekend ahead! i am off to shower and get ready to go to the fair! have a great long weekend everyone!!
