Weird Tattoo
Weird leg tattoo of connect the dots.; Collage created for publisher who is including me in a coffee table book about weird tattoos called INKED: Clever, Odd and Outragous Tattoos. Woo! They might use this one or one of the awesome ones Chris took.
Ever since I was little I joked about getting my birthmarks numbered--that I was one big connect-the-dots tattoo that made a "me". When I got older I obsessed over the idea of an extremely visible invisible tattoo. I then worked for four years on a project I called "The Stalking and Murdering of a Childhood Giraffe" (EXPLAINED HERE) were I spent four years searching for a giraffe I had as a child and taking pictures of any I came across that were "rejects". 1,712 rejected giraffe photographs later, after I finally found the giraffe (with the help of over 50 friends or "giraffe hunters") I got this tattoo.
Dave C. Wallin who made it did an AMAZING job considering how small the numbers had to be. Pretty sure I'm not the first person in the universe to come up with this idea, but I've yet to see another connect-the-dots tattoo. Got my tattoo on August 25, 2007. The design was based on a really geometric giraffe drawing I once saw (if anyone can find the name of the original artist I would be super appreciative!), but I modified it to have spots and be even more box-like. I love this tattoo so much...which makes it hard to walk down the street without starring at my own calf.

Treasure Chest Side Tattoo
Colorful girls side tattoo of a treasure chest,roses and word quote "Some Pursue Happiness, Others Create It" a great tattoo design that represents personal aspects of life; Done by Bryan Burk at Spotlight Tattoo, Hollywood, CA. Third session about 4hr on April 6, 2008. (Total around 9 hours.)
Mostly healed. Finally finished. SO happy with it!
I'll put down the explanation again:
I was fed up with so many people complaining about how crappy different aspects of their lives were, whether it be their job, girlfriend, friendships... but not doing anything about it! The treasure chest is to represent your future, and it's up to you what's in it, if it's going to be filled with jewels and greatness or just salt water and sea weed. You create your own happiness!! It's also quite easy to create happiness for people around you if you just apply yourself.

Always and Forever Tattoo
Heart and roses banner tattoo, always and forever; No, it's not a good use of my money at this point, but I don't much care. It makes me feel good and emphasizes to the world (and Sierra in particular) how important Kellie was and always will be in my life.
Ronnie at Art With a Pulse Tattoo modified the Heart-Kellie-Rose that he did for our 8th anniversary last February by adding the Always and Forever above and below, the leaves around the heart, the teal background, and a few highlights and modifications to what was already there.
The "Always & Forever" was our little thing that went at the bottom of every card we sent each other and usually followed any "game of who loves more than whom."
There are still a bunch of blood spots in this photo and because it kinda wraps around my puny forearm, it's hard to get every last bit in a picture, but I like it. It has the classic style I like, and it moves me one step closer to a sleeve.
Next up, each kid's name on each wrist. Maybe part of a band or something - I'll figure it out.
