Snowflakes & KARMA

I am in big trouble!!  With my friend Natasha's hubby Ranz now living here with his amazing talents...

He did Breton's name on his wall and now I have his artwork on me!

We were at a party and I left with two new tattoos!

The snowflake is for the winter Olympics.  I just love the Olympics!

No really... the snowflake represents all the snow we have had this year. 

Hahaha

Come on, if you know me I wouldn't waste a tattoo.  Mine all have significance.

Snowflake = one of a kind

KARMA

This tattoo is my actual handwriting but it wasn't done with a transfer. I wrote the word out several times, stretching it out so it wouldn't clump together once on my arm,  Ranz looked at my sample and recreated it free hand.  He is so precise.

Karma,

What you do comes back to you.  I truly believe this.  Good deeds, kindness and genuine happy beliefs come back to you. 

Also vice versa.  Negativity will infect you and you will never be content.

Ventura Blvd Tattooing

So for a very long time I have wanted my nose pierced and last week I did it! 

Sorry Dad:(

I finally found someone to hold my hand, Natasha. She got hers done too.  As she reminded me this has not been our first time to a tattoo shop together:)  Last time we got tattoos!  I will blog about her one day because she has over 100 tattoos and they all have a story.

Honestly it did not hurt like I had thought (after hearing stories of others who got it done).  Paul, piercer, was awesome!  So kind and he explained everything as I sat there with my eyes shut while sitting on my hands.

The most traumatic moments were afterwards...when I was cleaning away the crust of blood (Ewwww!) from the tiny diamond, that night.  Nearly gagged.  And the next morning when I was cleaning the outside part around the nose ring, with a wash cloth, and the entire ring came out except for the hook part!  I couldn't even look at it in the mirror, I just kept on trying to push it back in...and it wouldn't go in...it took about 4x.

I broke out in a cold sweat and had to go gulp some fresh air.  I wondered what would have happened if I had passed out.  I was home alone.  I think I may have to invest in one of those medical alert necklaces with the button on it!  "Help I have passed out cuz of my nose ring and I can not get up!" (actually that wouldn't work I probably would be unconscious so I would have to hope I fell on the button...)

Will have to re-think that one.  Who wants to be my emergency contact? Jab the nose ring back in my nose! Hahaha! Yummy!;)

Enjoy the pix!
