LO about getting my tattoo fixed while I was in FL this past April. One of my hubby's old friends was my artist and it was a really great experience.

(The Whole Story)I got my tattoo "fixed" when I went to Florida in April...one of my hubby's old friends is an artist there. I had had the original infinity symbol tatted in March and just wasn't happy with it - it was basically a black and white piece (it's the first pic on my LO) and it was hard to see the birth stones (my tattoo is an infinity symbol symbolizing my eternal and unmeasurable love for my babies, who are represented by their birthstones). So I really wanted some more color, and I wanted to add something for my twin step-daughters (the funky daffodils are their birth month flower - i liked the kinda crazy colors as it represents where they live atm)...it turned out amazing!!! Only problem is EXACTLY a month after I had it "finished" we found out we were pregnant! Fourth and FINAL! Hehe. Luckily, my artist said it shouldn't be a problem to add another stone - the infinity is shaded purple and the baby is due in Feb (purple birthstone!)....

Inspired by sketch 11 in the Sept. MSC Sketch-a-thon. Not a two page scrapper, most of the time, but I tried. =)

	By Jsgf 23-Sep-12 Great two-page LO! That you added the tattoo blueprint and a photo of the old one is awsome! The pp is just perfect! Love your journaling and title!

	By Charcats7 23-Sep-12 beautiful- love the daffodils and the heart intertwining with the infinity- Great 2pg LO too- I almost always have done 2-pg LOs so the reverse it true for me- a 1pg is awkward- funny how that is

	By GentlewoodFarms 23-Sep-12 I agree with the words below. You definitely CAN do 2-pagers. This turned out great. Why did you decide to get your tat "fixed?" It's ok to say, "nun-ya."

	By Rahulsmom 23-Sep-12 Love the colorful bg. It turned out great.
