.
It's official.
.
I've only gone and done it.
.
After years of indecision.
..
I finally took the plunge.
.
I made the appointment.
.
I endured the weird "ice-burn" type pain.
.
I've moisturised daily.
.
I've flashed it to anyone I meet, whether they're interested or not.
.
Except you dear Blog reader.
.
It's your turn to see it.
.
Are you ready?
.
Here it is ...
.
.
..
.
My tattoo !
.
.
..
Yes, it's a shabby-chic rose!
.
Can't think where I got my inspiration from!
.
And for those of you who haven't had one, and have been thinking about it but can't stand pain ... it's really not that bad.
.
Imagine how it feels when you hold some ice next to your skin - you can take it for so long and then it starts to hurt in a burning type of way. Well that's what it felt like, but just as I started to think I couldn't take it any more, she lifted the tattoo-gun and moved to a different bit of skin.
.
It took about 50 minutes and felt like sunburn for a few days afterwards - tender when it was touched, but not agony.
.
If you've been thinking about having one ... go for it!

thats gorgeous, i have two tattoos and i love them, i'm planning on having my boys initials done around one of my existing ones now :) x
you know having tattoos is like having a slice of the most scrumptious chocolate cake...? After that first bite you just want more and more and more.
My Husband has stopped me at two...he has forbidden anymore - that is how strongly he feels.....ha ha ha

It looks great - they do become very very addictive though. I have 1 but have my next 3 planned!
Gasp! Good on ya though! Snr Busy Son, says he is getting one for his 18th birthday, which made me want to cry a bit. Call me old fashioned... : )
Gee, you're a brave lady!! I've had two kids but I've never been brave enough for a tattoo...or had the gumption. Love your choice of the rose, tres jolie!
Just found your blog, it's truly fun and so much colour and lovely crafts! I will surely visit you often! ...and your tattoo is soooo shabbychic! well done! Hugs from Italy .. federica
The pain has never been an issue for me I'm confident I can deal with that I have just never found a design I liked enough to want for the rest fo my life.. The rose is great and very you !
