photo #1: same place, different photo for you!
photo #2: the display of tattoo ideas you can flip through…
photo #3: whoa, that is….quite colourful?!!
photo #4: mid-consult with bryan as he sketches some ideas.
photo #5: 12 noon, january 8th, i will be at tora!
photo #6: the cards are divided by delivery option!
photo #7: mom and dad get me, too! a cardinal christmas card – perfect!
this morning, i had my previously-booked consult appt at tora tattoo (photo #1)
i arrived a few minutes early, so had time to peruse the selection of sample tats on display in the waiting area (photo #2)
think i’ll pass on this one, thanks! (photo #3)
bryan and i had a very productive collaboration-session – i had printed off 5-6 examples of designs/colours/ideas that i liked. being the artist and professional that he is, bryan will draw up the tattoo design then email it to me to look over (photo #4)
i really like bryan! and he “gets” me – that is a wonderful thing!
i really wanted to get tat #3 inked on my bday, wednesday, january 9th, but unfortunately, bryan is already booked up that day. however, we set an appt time for tuesday january 8th (photo #5). i work late afts on tuesday, so that appt time will work out just fine (bryan said it will likely be a 2.5 hour session).
yea! i will have my new tat FOR my birthday instead of ON my birthday. nbd!

in other other news, as you can see, wordpress is acting wonky, still, with the photo uploading process…i refuse to get angsty/ragey as i typically do with techie issues. the worst case scenario is that i have bizarre blog post layouts…forever! we can live with that, right?!

I was hoping the photo issue would straighten out for you as it did for me, Cathy…
This whole thing can be a bit weird sometimes! Love the cardinal card…Yay Mom and Dad! I’m living vicariously through you when it comes to tattoos!!
fran, luckily the great staff at wordpress fixed the issue! i DID try your tip…but finally had to contact wp and they succeeded in helping me out – yea! ok, lmk what you want me to get for tat #4! haha!
Can’t wait to see you tat, although I guess I have to be a bit patient. It’s snowing on your blog!!
i know!!! isn’t that snowfall option just too fun! i selected that option as a default setting a couple yars ago, and now it just automatically snows on the blog every december! i want to show the tat asap … but it looks the best if you wait a few days…but i think i will be too excited to wait!
You share the same birthday as my brother!
The card your parents got you is soooo cute!
no way!!! i love finding out about bday twins! cardinals are my favourite bird – and i often spot them in waterloo park!
I don’t have any tattoos, so learning more about the process is really interesting! I can’t wait to see the final work!
I love the cardinal card.
I hope WordPress unwonkifies for you..but it was fine seeing the photos first.
“unwonkifies” – top marks to you, zo, for creating the best word of the day – i may use that! and i am glad that the photos -> text format works ok! i have emailed wordpress, we’ll see if there is a solution! or maybe christmas magic will happen! due to the placement of tat #3, it could be challenging to get photos on tattoo day…but i will certainly try to document the occasion!
