new artwork

as part of my husband's week long birthday celebration, he got a new tattoo.  since we moved here, he gets all his work done by dave at voodoo monkey tattoo.  dave always does a fabulous job, and turns my husband's ideas into something beyond his expectations.  but dave is also a very busy guy, and is usually booked solid every week.  fortunately for my husband, there was a cancelation earlier this week and dave was able to begin work on the new tattoo.

phase 1 is just the outline.  phase 2, the color, will be done in about 2 weeks (which was the next available appointment he had.  see...he is a busy guy!).

and since i didn't want to feel left out, i figured i should add to my own "collection."

mine was just done today by eric (who was great to work with and very personable), also at voodoo monkey.  i had a couple of different ideas in mind, but decided to go with the heart since aaron has one with my name on it and he has been waiting for a few years to get mine done.  i like how they both look similar but different at the same time.

so romantic, isn't it?
