The Tattoo

So my Co-Farmers daughter Kim just turned 16. A year ago she bought a feeder cow with her own money that she was planning to feed and keep for a year then sell for meat. Well she started getting attached to "Spot" and by the time she was done bottle feeding him she didn't want to eat him. Her mom and I plus farmers everywhere understand this predicament. six months later Kim was ok with selling him because she almost never saw him on a day to day basis but she still didn't want us eating him. Her mom made a deal with her that if she let us have spot without fussing Kim would be allowed to get a tattoo on her 16th birthday.
    This Made me happy for 2 reasons. Fist when I met Kim 3 years ago I jokingly told her I would be the like the Aunt who took her to get her first tattoo. Her mom was very "Over My Dead Body". How far Colleen has come. I am very proud. Second I thought it would be a good time for me to get another tattoo. I haven't had one since I was 19 and I had that removed after I had 2 kids and it had expanded like a Lion Balloon then deflated. Ladies, Never get a tattoo on your stomach before you have kids.
     My Hubby was actually excited and wanted me to get a Tramp Stamp. You know, that tattoo on the back right above the underwear. I wanted it where it would be covered up if I had to go be professional so the back was a good place. It was hard picking a design. I wanted something that represented me, like an alpaca or a pink tractor, not something trite like a butterfly. I finally picked the design and the big day was yesterday. I will give you the whole story in painful detail when I return.
