I Finally did get a tattoo, I have been wanting one for a few years now, first I had to wait to finish nursing Tay then i got PG with Audrey then had to nurse her. But still didn't know who I would have do it. Till I met steve and dusty 2 of the nicest people I have ever met! Steve owns his own shop and our girls went to school for a few years together. So one day after talking with him I decided I would go with him and soon after that made the appt. I was glad I went with him he was nice and understood I was scared/nervous I got it one my foot, 4 kitty paw prints that prints were taken from his cat. I have it on the arch and to the bottom knuckle of my big toe, some day I will figure out how to transfer the picture over here. I will admitt it hurt, my leg kept jumping even though I was trying like hell not to move. I finally sat up and leaned on my leg to keep it still. When he was done I was just finding my mental place to be in for the pain. I was actually sad it was over. which surprised me! I did walk out with out giving him the idea for my next tat I had indured enough couldn't even think about the next one! YOUCH!
But I will have to say I was in a place I have never been mentally, it was a good place, I did something freeing, from what everyone precieves me to be, this was my idea and I followed through and made it to the end. I have had a emotional rollercoaster of a life. this was good point I like that I felt in controll of my life FOR ONCE! i think this is something that you have to expirence to understand crazy I know but its true. I am trying to tell Chad this make him understand, that its worth the pain, and the end result is unique.
A funny... I was walking to go get the mail and was coming back and caught out of the corner of my eye something big and black on my foot and about screamed then realized it was not a bug laying there it was a kitty paw print :)
I got one for each Sparky ( who is gone) Cole ( alive) Disney ( she died) and Phoebe ( alive) sounds silly but My cats are my first babies the first life I ever took care of and cared for so deeply and when Disney( 8yrs old) died I was crushed and When Sparky( 13 yrs old) came up missing my heart is still breaking and I am constantly looking for him even in my dreams. Those people that do not have an attachment to animal will never understand but thats what is neat about this, its my tattoo to own and to love not someones elses, to change or tell me how to feel.

So many people neglect their animals when they have kids. They may give them food and water but they don't give them ATTENTION!
As a mom of four girls...I find it awesome that you still find time to love your first babies: your furbabies.
I too will never forget my first babies. As they are my only babies right now, they get me thru all of the pain and sorrow of my struggle to become a mom to a human baby. They are the ones who I cry to at night when I am alone and childless. They have always been there for me and I will always be there for them.
I love your tattoo and I am so proud of you for getting an idea, birthing it, nurturing it, and seeing it thru to the end!
Jen you understand me! Thank you it brings tears to my eyes and lump in my throat! Big Ol' Hugs!
I Love that Jen. It was very profound. I honestly have tears right now. And I want my tattoo even more now. I'm So proud of you for following through with something that was important to you and not letting anyone talk you out of it. HUGE HUGS!! Your my hero!
Jen, I am so proud of you! I'm sure it was freeing to do something that no one expected you to do & something YOU really wanted to do. Great job!
