I got a tattoo!

I went out last night and I got a tattoo of my husband's nick name. In the military, everyone goes by their rank and last name. All of our friends just call him "Shep" instead... he even introduces himself sometimes as "Shep" instead of James.

Well 10 years ago when we first got married, he went out and got a tattoo of my name over his heart on his chest. I thought he was so crazy for doing it! After awhile though I thought it was so sweet. He always teased me about when I was going to get his name tattooed. I always told him "soon", but was too scared, even though I already have one tattoo of a sunflower on my left arm.

Well this past week he started to tease me again about it and I said, "I want to do it!" He didn't believe me, but we went out on Saturday night and I got my tattoo. I love it. Someone asked, "what happens if something happens to you guys?" Well we have been together for a total of 15 years. He's my best friend, we truely love each other and I don't think I'll ever have any regrets. If anything did happen, I would just finish up the nick name to spell "Shepherd" for my three kids last name. :)

Here's some pictures...

Congrats on the tattoo! I once went to a tattoo parlor and requested a similar tattoo of "Chit"...I passed out during the tattooing process and woke up to find "shit" tattooed on my arm instead...
