Sisters

Okay, here it is:

new tattoo

Kathryn and I have been planning on getting another tattoo for quite awhile now, and I have always wanted one on my hip/lower abdomen.

Did I mention how FUCKING BAD it hurts to get one there? It was still pretty red and swollen the next morning:

So, on a whim (because we are some of the most impulsive people you will ever meet, courtesy of parents who follow a routine like they’ll croak if they fall off course) we found ourselves designing a new piece of artwork at a tattoo shop two nights ago.

We both walked out with one. Same tattoo, same hip. Different colored stars, and the design flipped.

When Kath saw the colors I chose, she started laughing and said, “Hey Tam, the eighties called. They want their colors back.”

Hey, so what if turquoise, pink, and purple (in that order) are my favorite colors? Well, apparently, green, pink and orange are way cooler. According to Kathryn, anyway.

And in case you were wondering on that last picture, my sister is the one wearing skanky panties, and I’m the blubbery pale one wearing stretch marks. (Shut up, I’m joking.)

    LOVE it! What made me laugh out loud it that you picked EXACTLY the same colors for your stars as I picked for the stars on my foot. (http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/caleblynch/IMG_2676.jpg)

    Kath… you’re just jealous of my ugly green pajama bottoms. You know you wish you had a pair.

  11. Stephanie Says:

    I love it, they are so pretty!! I love your colors too! Funny I didn’t find it hurt when I got my Koi there!

  12. Rosanne Says:

    I don’t know what photo you were looking at, Tamra, but I had to look really closely at the colors to see which one was you and which one was Kathryn. Sorry, I can’t support the blubbery, stretch mark comment and both of you look like you’re wearing skanky panties!

  13. Tamra Says:

    LOL, Rosanne… hence the disclaimer at the very end ;-) .

  14. Tamra Says:

    Stephanie… You know, the one on my back didn’t hurt. In fact, I kind of *liked* how it felt, as weird as it sounds. I was shocked by how much this one hurt in comparison!

    That is TOO COOL!!!
    I got my first tattoo (a rose, pfff, how original) in that same spot…I can STILL remember the stinging, awful pain every time that needle came close to my hip bone…*shudders*. But hey, WORTH IT, right?!?! :)
