10 Cool Points

Today I earned 10 cool points, according to my boyfriend…

The final piece… it means eternity in Japanese, and we decided on it because a j and k make up the symbol.

Our Tattoos
I have to say, it barely hurt. My tattoo artist was awesome; he kept my mind on other things. After it was all done he complimented me on how well I’d sat for the work. We went to a place called Warlocks in Cary, and I highly encourage anyone in the area to go. They shop is clean and well maintained. The staff is professional. It was just a nice place. If/when I get another tattoo, it will be done there.

    The tattoo is beautiful! {Needs a lady bug nestled in there somewhere, though! ;)

    I decided not to get the ladybug on this tattoo. I want it to stand alone simply because it’s so meaningful to my relationship with Jake.

    …I will get a ladybug eventually. Just not with the eternity tattoo :)

    Like the tattoos!! They look great. Does it itch? I heard it itches for a few days…

    BTW, I looked at the pics of Merlin…what a great looking dog.

    I was terrified as well MJ!! Thankfully the artist was patient *and* funny so it put me at ease. My next one will be a ladybug.

    […] Yesterday Tiani and I went to Warlock’s in Raleigh to have our tattoos done.  This was where I got my first tattoo done, and I knew what a great shop it was.  This was Tiani’s first tattoo so she was nervous.  I knew the people at Warlock’s would make it a good experience. […]
