Virgin Skin...no more



So, ever since we lost Lenin I knew I wanted to do something permanent to memorialize him. I've always wanted a tattoo, but nothing meant enough to me to have stamped on my body for the rest of my life...until now. Chris and I finally took the plunge two Sundays ago. My mom and hilary got little hearts on their legs this past Sunday as well.

Here are a few pics of the process:






And here they are 9 days later. Still a little itchy, but pretty much healed.

Chris described it as feeling like someone scratching a really bad sunburn...um not even. It felt exactly like it is...many many needles piercing your skin over and over and over!
