First and Last Tat

I'll start by saying we finally got moved into our new house!!! It is almost twice as big as our "love shack" and we are enjoying the perks of a newer house everyday! It has been very stressful the last couple of weeks. We packed up our whole house, I aced my test, celebrated my birthday, and bought and moved into Our first home TOGETHER all in one week. I emphasize together because Jeremy did purchase a home while we were dating that I moved into after we got married. After we got settled in I finally got to enjoy.. Ehhr kind of enjoyed.. Well later on enjoyed my birthday present. Jeremy set up an appointment for me to have my eyeliner tattooed on. I was so nervous I have never had a tattoo before. Once I got there I found out from the lady who dolled me up, that permanent make up and tattooing are very separate. She had to be checked off by the health department to be certified. So to calm my nerves she put me on the laughy Gas. Then she gave me three shots in each eye to numb it, which I thought was by far the worst part. I squirmed and squeezed those stress balls until I thought the stuffing would come out. After the numbing sets in, the only thing you can really feel is the vibrations of the tool. I was really pleased with the results. She did exactly what I told her, an average size at the top and very thin on the bottom. As we were leaving I felt the numbness starting to wear off. It felt like a bad sunburn for the next hour, nothing a bag of ice couldn't fix. After that I felt great, day two I was pretty swollen but here I am on day three loving it and ready to put on some mascara to add to the effect, only 7 more days!

The top picture is what I took about twenty minutes after I got home from getting it done. The bottom picture is what I took today on day three. The swelling has gone down a lot and I thought the color looked a lot better. She said the color fades 30% during the healing process. It seems really bright once you first do it, so I was glad to see it fade a bit.





This last picture is what Jeremy took while I was getting it done. I didn't realize until later that day that he had posted it onto Facebook saying I was getting a Mike Tyson tattoo. I only found out because I got emails saying what people had commented on the picture I was tagged too. He has no shame:)
