Chad and I got tattoos to celebrate our, "union." Nooooo, we didn't tattoo our names on our butts or anything, and I can assure you Chad doesn't have my face tattooed to his shoulder or my name in a heart on his heart. We put a lot of time and consideration into where and what we were going to get. I always said I wanted a tattoo but nowhere on my body.
.Well, I decided after look
ing at probably a million peoples tattoos. I decided I wasn't going to get what they got. I knew I wanted to do something meaningful. I took a tinsy winsy piece of family history and twisted it into something current. I too
k one of Jack's feathers with me, and I took an American Indian tattoo and just put Jack's feathers in it's place. So I now have two of Jack's feathers attached by a small yellow bead. Oh yeah, on my foot. Chad and I didn't tell anyone what we were going to get. Especially me because I didn't want to second guess what I had finally chosen. Many people said I shouldn't get it done on my foot because it would hurt but they way I look at it is you are going to have that tattoo on your body the rest of your life, the pain will only last for a short period of time. So... get the tattoo where you want it.
.Chad looked into his family history;
he is Scottish by the way. He chose a
Scottish Highland Cross, with lots of Celtic knots and he had it tattooed on his back. We had discussed getting them in Key West on our honeymoon but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I wouldn't be able to see the tattoo shop beforehand, so we decided not to go that way. We looked into every tattoo parlor within 50 miles of Matthews. We chose Tattoo Bill's off of South Tryon. Many celebrities including Paul Sr. and Mikey from Orange County Choppers have been there. We went a week ahead of time so I could check out their setup, and I was satisfied.
.A really nice girl named Madison tattooed me. She said I did well for my first tattoo especially considering it was on my foot. It only took about an hour. Chad's took 2 and a half hours, whew! A really nice guy who has been doing tattoos for 31 years named Will or "Snake" did Chad's tattoo. We both survived and we are both proud owners of our first tattoo's.
