Benefits Of Being A Tattooers Wife




We finally finished my arm.  3 years!  I had a baby during that time which significantly slowed the process.  I don't get tattooed while pregnant and with a new baby there just isn't time.
All totalled it took 21 hours split between about 10 sessions.   Mav did all the black first and I had to wait patiently for the piece de resistance, the pink.
Although I like tattoos purely for the eye candy this one does have some meaning.  My daughters Ruth "Magnolia" and "Pearl" are both represented.  (I have Graces' name on my wrist under the pink bow and Dorothy Violet will be coming soon.)

    Stunning! Love it ♥ I am s l o w l y working on my half sleeve on my left arm. I'm quite happy for it to take time - I don't think people should get full coverage done in a hurry :))

    I was really really hoping to see your tattoos while going through some of your old posts. That is just gorgeous! I love the pink flowers with the black.
