hahahaha I do that to my husband all the time-"you wanna mess w/THIS?? Really?"
One day during lunch, some of the little boys were flexing their arms and giggling when I'd touch and go oooo what big muscles! So then I flexed and they were giggling and then stopped..."Miss Missi, your arm feels funny" hahahaha

I don't do pictures very often. This was in February, right before we left to go get my cherry blossom tattoos. I'd been so-so eating better, so had lost some weight..which I've moo-latted and pasta'ed right back on.
Oh shoot it didn't show.

I guess I figure, not every client matches w/every artist. They SO did not mesh. She struck me as a harpy..a bit of "lookit me on tv putting this guy in his place" like she was far superior and more knowledgeable than he. And it's kinda hard to demonstrate proficiency in something if the client doesn't want it. Can't really show that you can do say...praying hands, if the client says yeaaaah no, can you put mittens on them?

Why thank you! I bought it on line but it fit horribly bc I dont know my size like for anything, so i stayed up all night mending it.

One of the best ways to deal with not being totally satisfied with your tattoos, or being nitpicky about them or whatever is to get more tattoos.

Woo hoo! LOVE the ST uniform!

I'm not balanced, but I think the asymmetry is cool/sexy. It won't stay that way for long, just b/c I want (need) more.

Oooo now I want to get some paper out and start a smaller scale sketch of ideas! I get all giddy thinking about the planning stage!

The dual reality thing w/the cat is Schrodinger's cat. Interesting theory, too.
Nobody really asks me crazy things. Mostly they ask how long it takes, like w/my feet since I'm in flip flops for summer and they're kinda hard to miss. "4 hours" "Wow, didn't it hurt?" "Feck yeah it hurt" "Well..so..why did you do it?" Or they ask if I cried. No.

Well I quit smoking four years ago and added about 50 pounds of "negative space". Right now I'm more worried about my overall look as a person, period!

I think I met someone, he's pretty nice, not sure where this is going, but enjoying myself for now :)

I'm sorry about Anthea.
I love kitties. My husband isn't much of a cat person..not like me and my craziness. Our first cat together was a stray that showed up at his place out in the country, hiding in the barn/garage from they coyotes. Friendly as all get out. It was winter and we'd open up the door and find the cat balanced on the ledge where the screen had gotten knocked out like hey hey lookit me! He was going out hunting one day and said if the dogs would accept the cat, he would keep it. (we didn't live together) He came home to find me curled up on the couch w/the cat and all three pit bulls. She ruled the roost from day one. We had her 11 years and had to have her put to sleep two years ago b/c of her health. Bella was a tortoiseshell. We got a tortie kitten from my parents, Britta, after we got married, and she's about 11 now too..crabby ole lady. Bella and Britta used to fight-Bella would wrap her front legs around Britta's neck, pick her up and body slam her to the ground. We have a grey and white female, Opilio, who is obsessed w/our daughter, but can't be bothered w/the rest of us. Last November I got another tortie from a shelter. I needed her and she needed me. Losing Bella left such a hole in my heart. So, I got her, named her Clementine Isabelle, and just completely adore her. My husband was angry, but all it took was the first time she jumped up on his lap and sprawled out on him, kneading her paws in his beard, and he was in love with her too.

I think the "meaning" issue is a real barrier for people when it comes to getting tattoos. At least it was for me. Before I had any tattoos I kind of didn't bother because I didn't know what I would get that would have enough meaning to have it written into my skin. My first tattoo was about my family a couple of years after the birth of my daughter. With my next few tattoos I was still kind of over thinking it and coming up with wild stories to tell myself about why what I wanted was a good idea. Now that I am more comfortable with tattoos in general (I've realized that nothing horrible has happened) I am more able to find enough meaning in just thinking it's cool.

hahaha until coming here I never knew there were actual words for it. We just call them "people who don't have tattoos".

hahahahaha I LOVE those terrible shark movies! My husband does this whole eye rolling "Oh gaaaaaaawd" thing but I can't help it. A couple weeks ago on SyFy was Supershark, Dino Shark, Swamp Shark, Sharktopus and Sharknado. They're so horrible but I can't help it. Sand Sharks is on Netflix, just as bad. (well see now, he was dragged out here and his head popped clean off-I ain't never seen a coyote do that" ....that's good dialogue right there yanno) Two Headed Shark attack, oh my..that was "good". Mega Shark V Giant Octopus--that one has Debbie Gibson in it and she says the F word.

Even if you don't share the same passion, there should be some respect towards the other person's decisions about their body, since it's ultimately up to each person what they do or do not do w/their own body.

could post the link to my FB album of our yard if anyone is interesting. It's the awesome thing we've been doing recently.

Oooo I dig serial killers too! Well..that sounds horrid, but you get it.
My husband was upset when I was pg w/our first and I was up late every night (with every light in the house on) reading the Encyclopedia of Serial Killers that something would be wrong w/the baby.

But that's not like a paragraph of teeny text and it sounds like you're working it into the butterfly and flower tattoos.
And no punching people who get good tattoos from this gal!
