So freakin' excited!!!

in Late Term and Child Loss
I have been planning my memorial tattoo and finally found the artist I want to do the tattoo.  We have been e-mailing back and forth and he is booked until July, so I was hoping to get in at some point in August.  I figured I wanted to make sure I loved the artist and would rather wait for him than go to someone else.  So I just got an e-mail today that he can fit me in at the end of March!!!! I am sooo excited!  He is very selective and takes projects that interest him, so he either finds the tattoo I want interesting, or our story.  Either way I am happy that I don't have to wait so long! Just wanted to share. :-)

    I'm glad you are able to get in sooner than expected.  I still haven't really gone looking for the right artist.  It's a little intimidating.  A forever piece with so much meaning.  It's has to be perfect.  If you don't mind sharing, what and where (on your body) are you getting the tattoo?  I'm still debating on placement.

    Cherrycobbler- it was a bit intimidating, but I want the tattoo done before we start TTC again, so I decided to really sit down and do some research.  I live near Chicago and just started doing research on the most reputable parlors and then looked at individual artists' work.  Then I contacted him.  Good luck!

    I decided on getting a butterfly on my right shoulder/back.  I have my consult on March 10th and want to see what he says, but right now I am picturing a mostly black and white tattoo with a bit of purple shading.  I also want it to be personalized but am going to ask him how to do that- either with Annabelle's initials/name/or her dates.  I want it somehow incorporated in the butterfly so I don't have words around it.  Does that make sense?  I will definitely show pics when it's done!

    Can't wait to see it!!!  So excited for you.  The day I got mine was one of those "now or never moments" because I was terrified.  I'm so glad I did it, and the tattoo artist was the same guy that did DH's a few weeks prior so I really wanted him to design it.  I love my tattoo.

    I have a tattoo of a turtle on my foot for Quincy.  One of the turtle's back feet is a lower case cursive q.  It's very subtle and very elegant. I love it!

    Yes, thats exactly what I'm thinking but in butterfly form! I'm excited to see what he suggests.
