Panther Power!

I seriously think this is my biggest tattoo yet? idk! haha. I was told today I need to stop counting since I have more than like 10 haha. My friend Jarrod told me that today. Dan and I still have our "tattoo" bet. Its now including myself, Jarrod, Dan and another lady tattooed like myself. We all have to be done in a certain amount of time....my time? Is when I turn 25, I have to be modestly done by 25, meaning I gotta finish my sleeve, finish my panther and start on my back to finish it off and be the first to have my back body suit! I will do it! haha.

Heres the new panther!!!!!!! Dan Fagan at Imperial Iron (http://www.imperialirontattoo.com/)

I will be back in with Dan the 2ed week of June to get back in and start filling in ALL the black! Theres going to be so much black in this its soooooo great!!!!!! I cant wait, but at the same time I hate getting tattooed haha. Yes the panther hurt, outlines hurt way more than shading and I had a large area covered, especially on my hip and side knee.

Stay lovely everyone! More tattoos over the summer!!! xoxoxo!

My first beach day of the summer!

Ive been really busy lately, but Ive got to have some pretty awesome days! I went to the beach with my new friend Kaitlin who is so great! She introduced me to several lovely ladies who I had a really fun beach day! The first of few haha. I try to get tattooed a lot during the summer so I have a reason not to go to the beach and its a lot easier to not have to wear jeans or long sleeves and have a fresh tattoo...soooo uncomfortable. I have about 30 tattoos and its a lot to cover with sun screen but I still got a bit sun burnt, boo. Anyways! The swim suit is actually a "new" item lol. I got it at good will recently and its like 90's. Still had the tag on it, never worn. I was pretty excited about it.

It was a great beach day all in all! The sun burn wasn't to bad so totally worth it. I really want to acquire a vintage swim cap with all the little bright flowers all over it for the next beach day. I love living in Florida and especially in Tampa for it being like 40 minutes away from some beaches. Hope everyone is doing great!!!! xoxoxo!

Get the Connolly Look

Hey everyone!! Wow I havent been posting much. Lately Ive been feeling a bit bummed out, just things catching up to me. Getting down on myself for no real reason. I was painting the other night and wished I was a better artist. Been working hard but have felt like its getting no where. I guess I just need a positive boost every now and then. Well today is bright and sunny outside! Todays casual look was inspired by a friend of mine, a Mr. Connolly. I was kinda goofin around mostly and this defiantly put a little smile on my face. I put on Toots and the Maytals while I was outside chillin.

If my friends who know him saw this, they'd get a little laugh out of it Im sure. Again I was just goofing around, but I hope he finds it flattering. He has always been a big influence to me on a lot of things.

This weekend should be promising! Hopefully Ill get out of this funk Im in and be more inspired. I hope everyone is having a great week! The weekend is almost here!!! Pull through!! lol
