I DID IT!!!

So you all know how I am obsessed with anchors, right? If not, here ya go. There is a really good story behind it. My dad passed away when I was a baby, almost 2 years old to be exact. I never knew him so it's not a terribly touchy subject but still sucks nonetheless. I have always loved anchors and my dad was actually in the navy, so I kinda use them as a way to relate to him. He had a tattoo on his forearm of any anchor. Apparently at that time, all the seamen did. (sorry Lori :))

 When I saw it in a picture, I immediately knew that was going to be my next one. I had known that he had one, but seeing it in a picture made me real I guess!

So when I got a tattoo in memory of my mom, it seemed only fitting that one day I would do the same for my dad. I have been salivating over anchor tattoos for some time now and I have been itching lately to get it done, but haven't had the time or the money etc etc. 

So tonight after work I finally did it! It only took 20 mins compared to my other one that took almost an hour.

 

What do ya think? 

Sorry it looks a tad gross, but you try getting a needle jabbed into your foot for 20 minutes and see how well your foot looks after!

I just love it so much. I will think of my dad every time I look at it or people ask the meaning just like I do when I see my other one!

It's funny how tattoos came strike up a convo and make you remember things, people and feelings! I never was a huge fan of them, but the meaning behind mine makes me love them! 

Also, don't forget to grab my button! 

Have a great Sunday peoples. I am finally seeing The Hunger Game. Praise the lord!
