Lies I've been told...

If you keep making that face at your brother, it will stay like that.

Your goldfish got flushed out to the ocean.

You forget the pain of childbirth as soon as you see your baby.

Tattoos don't hurt.


So, at around one o'clock this afternoon, I assumed the position on the chair at Primeval Ink for Jen to start work on my tattoo.

Ok, so some people start out with something small.

Something easy.

Not a five inch portrait of your daughter on the small of your back.


It took two and a half hours.

Jen is an amazing artist...
