Beau and I both have gotten tattoos in the past and love them. Beau got an armband when he turned 18 and was a senior in High School. I got one when I was 20 (I think) of a heart and a yellow rose (symbol of friendship). Beau got another one with a wooden cross and a setting sun with John 8:12 under it. After I had Hunter I got one for the boys. A star with their birthstone color inside. I drew that one myself making it even more special.
A friend of ours good friend is a tattoo artist in Montana. He's from SSC and was back in town to be with his Dad, who is sick. We decided to get new tattoos. He is a great artist! He showed me some of his work and his drawings and he is amazing! And a SUPER nice guy!
I really wanted to add another star to my already existing tattoo for Blake. I also made a new years resolution this year to RELAX. I wanted to stop worrying about stuff and enjoy those around me. I wanted to spend more time with family and friends and not focus on the "what if I don't get this done" or the "what if this happens". I've been seeing a lot of quote tattoos on pinterest and really like them. I decided on the quote, Walk By Faith. This is going to remind me to stop worrying and have faith. I will be reminded that I am not the one in control. I need to do my best and have Faith the He will take care of me.
Ever since Beau's Dad passed away he wanted to get something in remembrance of him. He did some searching and really liked the Viking runes (which is the viking alphabet). He has some viking heritage and thought it was neat. So, he had Father tattooed on his arm. Beau's tough and didn't seem to even flinch but did say it hurt :) He loves it! The bottom pic was taken right after it was done...
We love them & Joel did a FANTASTIC JOB! And we got to hang out with friends which made it even better!
They look great! I have such a small tattoo on my right shoulder that I rec'd when I was like 17 or something. It was done unprofessionally and although it looks ok, I've always wanted to get it covered. But now, being older (and a mother) I've taken my piercings out and have yet to consider the tattooing. Although, yours look so good, I might have to up the ante :) Nicely done!
