Tattoo-ed Mama

As I mentioned in my Nashville post, 3 of us ladies got tattoos while in Nashville. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, so it was very exciting that it came together on this trip!

The idea came about because I saw Brent's cousin's {Heather} tattoo {3 hearts down her wrist to represent her kids}, and I told her about my idea {3 stars on the inside of my wrist to represent my 3 kids}, and we decided we should make it happen in Nashville.

It came up with the broader group and both Kristi {Brent's cousin's wife} and Carla {a friend} wanted to get them too! So after we had brunch on Saturday {our last full day in Nashville}, we went to a shop next to our AirBNB apartment and they had availability to fit us in, yay!

Brent liked the idea of what I wanted to do, but said he came first so he needed a spot in my tattoo too so the idea of a 2nd tattoo was born. Heather's husband had his and Heather's anniversary on his wrist in Roman numerals, and I thought that looked really cool.

The finished product

Overall it was a pretty quick and mostly painless process. The stars took just a couple of minutes and the wedding date maybe 5-7.
