Steve got his cherry popped this weekend!

This weekend I had the pleasure of popping Steve's cherry....tattoo cherry that is!!! Okay, so I didn't actually do the work, but I got to go and watch him have it done. It was the most awesome thing ever. I've never actually witnessed someone get a tattoo, let alone their first one. Awww, I love that feeling. Scared, nervous, excited. The cold leather of the tattoo chair as you sit down with the stencil applied....and then the hum of the gun starts up. There's no turning back now...partly because you don't want to look like a pansy in front of the 300 lb burly and might I add, heavily inked artist. (They don't ALL look like Kat!) The pain is mixed with pleasure and your body is transformed right before your eyes. Instant addiction!!! And a rather spendy one, I might add.

I'm sure, or at least I hope, that Steve will post his experience on his blog. All I can say about mine is that the adrenaline is electric! Its funny after we were done and walking out of the 7*Deuce, Steve remarked that he can't wait for another one. I think I've created a monster! If you are ever in Federal Way and itching for new ink, these guys are great! Joey did both of our tats and I can't wait to go back! Now onto the pictures!!!

Steve's tattoo.

He got my bite mark tattooed

onto his upper left chest. It looks freaking real!!

Just looking at it, makes you say "ouch". And that's

exactly what he was going for. Not too bad

considering that Joey did it freehand....that's right, Steve didn't

know what it would look like before getting started. (sucker!)

My latest addition.

Its the Kanji for "Mother"

Each of the stars represents our kids

via their favorite colors.

With the last one left blank for any future

additions to the family!
