TattooedMumma

Thanks for letting us know.
That is something that will be resolved when we launch the new site.
Thanks for your patience.

Have you been to an indoor play center before? I would not want to sit for a tattoo and listen to that.
Coming from a Mum of four who works with kids. Im used to kids noise, but yeah no thanks.

Ive replied here about first tattoo, but I didnt get a semi negative experience until my pipes on my arm.
Id been planning (im a planner, I like to work out how it will look in the end) my arms for some time and had most of it worked out (family men theme going on). When my paternal grandfather passed , on a whim I went stuff it im starting it now with his. Which actually has ended up being for both grandfathers (both avid pipe smokers. Maternal Grandfather had pipes for all occasions, Paternal Grandfather just had his favorite ) .
Anyway. That afternoon I am sitting in the car, waiting in a carpark when Dad spots me and pops over for a chat. I moved my arm, resting it on the door/open window as I normally do when Dad sees my tattoo and screws his face up asking what it was (really meaning why there) so I said in my usual smart arse fashion... its a pipe tattoo.
cue further grimacing and a question what for. I told him for pop and he was obviously not super impressed. Either because its a fairly constantly visible tattoo or because its his dad (issues there, bad history).
Anyway a few hours later he must have got over himself because he ended up texting , probing more about the tattoo and "so what are ya gonna get for me when I cark it? "
To which I said id get it before he did, told him what of and he jist said "cool!" Which, is a lot coming Dad. Man of few words lol.
So that was that. No more grief.

Started a job as a Teachers Aide!
Day off today though just being a thread whore it would seem.
Other awesomeness.... trail running. Did my first half last november. Hit a slump and now looking for an event to train for to get that motivation back ;)

I started a podcast about the Minnesota Timberwolves. We've recorded about 10 episodes so far and it's been a lot of fun.

Due to my now ex-job (got layed off Monday) I haven't been able to ride any MTB in over 6 years, Today, that changed!
Rode the Fisher Rig 29" single speed this morning in perfect weather. I had a blast!
Sometimes you just have to stop and look around, listen to the birds, and soak it all in. This is my ultimate medicine.

I rode the Memorial Park XC trails (some of which I helped to build almost 30 years ago) and was saddened to see how many trees died from the drought a few years ago. I'd say about 35% are gone.

Howdy, my names Cass. I am a professional tattoo artist and body piercer. Custom female artist with over five years of experience. I specialize in tattoo cover ups/fix jobs and new school color work. I have worked in Colorado, Maryland and Ohio. I am currently working at Skin Vazion in Canton Ohio. Ink trails is having issues so here I am. Im honest and humble, I do all I can to ensure I continue to grow as an artist. "find solutions not excuses!" I have quit a bit of friends in the industry and am always available for referrals, advice or questions.

So my Mom is 70, and we also have a rather complex relationship. However, she very nearly died on me two weeks ago, was in the ICU, and now she's still in hospital. I've been visiting nearly every day. Despite the complexity of our relationship, I realized how devastated I'd be if I lost her (my father passed away when I was 16). Now I am considering (if I survive my first tattoo) getting something for her - not a literal "Mom" tattoo, but maybe a hummingbird, her favourite bird.
As an aside, she's been delirious for a while, and I'm so happy that her mental capacity is coming back. Yesterday she suggested that instead of getting a tattoo, I should commission the artist to draw me something nice on paper.

Sheesh... Incredible collection @rozone!!

In the spirit of "fuck-it" I present my left leg. @gougetheeyes now we can feel weird together.
Snake/torch by El Monga last summer at spider Murphy's
Candle/Skull by El Monga March of this year at tattoo city
Cattle Head by Stefan Johnsson Jan of last year at California electric
Planning a panther on the knee at some point but it'll have to wait a bit. The other leg has some odds n ends on the thigh, but not enough coverage for me to feel it can hang in this thread yet!

Blaming @Graeme for this one since he posted his hairy man legs on instagram. I'm sure those famous legs Stuart at Spider Murphy's has filled up has given everyone the itch to do the same.. Or seeing Henning's work on those meaty thighs of @ironchef if you're going the Japanese route. But I'll tell ya, I'm real happy with how my short little legs are coming together and thought I'd get the ball rolling by saying fuck it and posting my hairy dude legs. Kinda weird, I know. Maybe I'll get weirded out and edit out the photo... Maybe (definitely) @MrsGougeTheEyes will yell at me and roll her eyes forever.
But fuck it, here's a shot of the front of mine. In the kitchen. Visible tattoos by Andy Perez (@Perez), Todd Noble, Oliver Peck, Nash Hogan, Jake Fraser, Scott Sylvia (@ I forget your LST name brother), Bailey Robinson, Sophie C'est LaVie.. There are some on the back and some on the sides that are tough to see but this will suffice for now.
@slayer9019 I know you're squidding it up slowly but surely and @else I just went back and read your intro thread. Totally totally awesome, especially with how everything's gone. (It's here for anyone who wants to take a gander.. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/initiation/3283-changing-way-i-see-myself.html)
Now let's see those legs!! (So I don't feel so weird..)

Not sure whose they are - but they're awesome.
Artist = Jeff Ensminger

A lot of my real estate has been filled up and so I've ended up going the unorthodox route of putting multiple smaller pieces on my thighs. So thought I would share a racy picture of me in my underwear...I mean of this bizarro mystical panther I had placed on my inner thigh by Shawn O'Connor (now in Nelson, BC at Timber Tattoo Co). One sit for 4 hours. I'm planning on getting another sit in at the end of summer to add some flames as well as fill in all the thigh gaps with spider webbing.

Looking at your thigh is a religious experience. So. Good.

About a year old - fresh on the left and healed on the right. Still learning about this and in retrospect would have done things a bit different - nevertheless a fair outcome!

so we went to the Fresno,CA tattoo expo yesterday and had all saturday afternoon with Oliver Peck. Central Valley Tattoo

I got these two,

Id been planning (im a planner, I like to work out how it will look in the end) my arms for some time and had most of it worked out (family men theme going on). When my paternal grandfather passed , on a whim I went stuff it im starting it now with his. Which actually has ended up being for both grandfathers (both avid pipe smokers. Maternal Grandfather had pipes for all occasions, Paternal Grandfather just had his favorite ) .
Anyway. That afternoon I am sitting in the car, waiting in a carpark when Dad spots me and pops over for a chat.

cue further grimacing and a question what for. I told him for pop and he was obviously not super impressed. Either because its a fairly constantly visible tattoo or because its his dad (issues there, bad history).
Anyway a few hours later he must have got over himself because he ended up texting , probing more about the tattoo and "so what are ya gonna get for me when I cark it? "

It's nice she's coming to terms with it!
I have a little girl, beautiful and perfect in every way...and the other night when @DJDeepFried was reading her bedtime stories I overheard her saying she wanted to cover her arms in tattoos, "like mama's." I just smiled and thought that was so sweet. Whether it happens or not, she will always be beautiful and perfect to me. That's the generational difference!

...so my Mom decides to clean my room one day when I was living at home. She was flipping all the mattresses in the house.
And she finds this ziplock back of epsom salts.
So when I get home I find Mom sitting quietly and anxiously tells me to sit down we need to talk.
She says she found something under my bed ... I'm like oh shit mom just found my best porno mag.
Then she asks me if I was on drugs. I'm like Mom!?! WTF!?!
Well I guess dear old Mom was really upset and concerned all afternoon, thinking i had started a cocaine habit !!
So I had to come clean and tell her they were epsom salts for soaking my fresh nipple piercings LOL.
That ended the conversation right there, she didn't want to hear about lol.
She didn't find the dirty magazine stash...yet...that's a different story and my younger brothers fault.
ok not about my first tattoo, but about my first piercings
RIP Mom <3

I always knew I was going to get tattoos & had a folder full of artwork since 6th grade! My mom would just laugh it off when I'd show her my ideas...well when I turned 18 back in 1993 I got my 1st tattoo on my lower back a little black panther lol she was just like why? why do you feel the need to deface yourself? and that it was going to look like crap when I got older,etc.......here I am at 42 15 tattoos later & she still is just like why?????? She doesn't hate tattoos she just doesn't see the point in them....she knows I'm getting ready to start working on my half sleeve soon so I'm sure I'll hear her commentary lol and don't get me started on my septum clicker according to her its disgusting & doesn't like me wearing it around her lol My dad could careless about either.

I think my nips are pretty damn sexy so I am going to leave them be.

isn't there a NSFW pic of a woman with a huge Pharaoh's Horses in the torso tattoo thread? That might give you a better idea...
