YES!!

Okay, so you know how I was going to get a tattoo on Spring Break??
Yeah, well, that kind of didn't happen.

BUT

As of 3:00 this afternoon I am officially branded for life!!
There was also a little change in the tattoo itself...

If you recall from one of my previous posts, it was a little meaningful thing with my roommates and I that we were all going to get "Promise" on our pinky fingers..you know, like a pinky promise.
But everywhere we called they either didn't do hand tattoos, or else they just tried to talk us out of it because they are so painful and almost always need to be touched up.

So, we finally found a place we really liked, and we decided to still get "Promise" but just on different areas of our bodies..cause the meaning is still the same, right?! :))

So, here is the most awkward tattoo picture ever:

Lesley got hers on her wrist, Meghan got hers on her ribs, and I got mine on my neck.
We pretty much let the tattoo artist invent whatever he felt like using with the font, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out!

I have to admit that I especially like how the "i" is dotted with a mini lightning bolt.I'm sure it's not what he was particularly aiming for, but it just made me think of Harry Potter.
I know, I know...nerd much?

All that being said, today was a pretty exciting and good day. :)
I love my tattoo, and have nothing but mad props for all the folks at NoCo, who were so uber professional, funny, clean, laid back, nice, what-have-you. Especially our artist, Jeremy!

I'm so happy and excited that we finally got this done.
I really do love my roommates more than anything!
