So I don't know why but I have always loved tattoos
Tattoos on men
Tattoos on women
Arm Tattoos
Leg tattoos
Chest Tattoos
I just love tattoos. There is no real connection to it either. None of my family members before me even considered getting a tattoo. To them it was strictly taboo or unprofessional. But they all really wanted one but they just never committed to it.
So 4 years ago I was going through a really tough time, my grandpa had just died and I was not handling it well. So I just jungle trotted myself down to the tattoo shop and got my first tattoo
I wanted to feel something other than just the emotional pain that I was overwhelmed with, so I settled for actual physical pain.
I have always loved all things nautical, I mean hey I want to be a mermaid. So I started off with the Anchor on my ribs

The guy said it would take 2 hours because it would hurt so bad and I would want a lot of breaks. So needless to say I freaked out. But 45 minutes later my tattoo is done and I barely felt a thing.
And I have been hooked ever since.
Getting the Dandelion next, only 6 months later

But then I waited a whole 2 years before I got my next one

The Owl

And then finally my most recent, my most fresh, my most awesome

The Gypsy

Dear Lord I love this tattoo

It was done my Stacy Smith at Anything Possible Tattoo studio in Mooresville North Carolina

I went in with a completely different drawing and she turned it into this beautiful piece

and the best part was that She was even more excited than I was just to be doing the tattoo

she loved it so much that shes putting it into her portfolio

Now everyone always ask what about when you get older, or want a job, or blah blah blah

and I literally do not care.

I am an artist and art is what I want to be doing for the rest of my life

And I want to be surrounded by art constantly so here it is, its right there on my body with me all the time

I will get tattoos until I cant anymore

And I will love every minute of it

And I will be the badass grandma who is covered in tattoos that everyone will love
