After tattooing last years lambs, I became jealous....

Aries/taurus symbol with roots and limbs symbolizing a coming together of the two signs and becoming grounded and one within them.

and decided to get one myself. Thankfully the artist didn't use the clamp style tattooer I did...it really would have sucked if he did.
Of course being a woman I had to bring a posse....you know how as a young woman we pee in packs?? Apparently we grow out of that at some point and decide peeing together isn't nearly as fun as getting ink injected into our skin. I brought along two of my pseudo sisters, and they both got ink as well. Nicky and I got our very first tat's 10 years ago together, so it was kinda cool to go and get the second one done together as well. She got a bear paw to symbolize motherhood.
This was Mel's first time...even though she's had the design in her head forever. She's a martial arts girl, so she got a dragon fighting tiger.
It was a fun time...yes...even with the pain it was fun and they artist is amazing, he went to art school and you can really tell looking at his portfolios.
Now back to the regular days of farming and trying to stop various animals from going on walk-a-bout. I hate fence building. ugh!

That is awesome! I am quite sure I do not have the balls to suck up that kind of pain. You are one tough girl!
