Not everyone's cup of tea but.....

I'm putting my hard earned non smoking savings to really good use this year and although it's not for everyone I wanted to share a pic of what I've been able to afford. I love tattoos but due to smoking I hadn't been able to afford more than the tiniest single tattoo for 20 years. I've now had this lovely piece done in time for my wedding........I'm loving being smoke free :)

Wow! That's unusual and beautiful! I hope you have a dress that will show your tats off to their best advantage.

As you say, not everyone's cup of tea but it's one way to spend all the money you've saved - and a good, permanent reminder of how much you wasted previously!

Thanks everyone, my dress will show it off beautifully :) it took ten hours in total droopy, 1 sitting of seven hours and a second one of three hours to finish it off. Wasn't too painful, just the last few minutes of the first sitting almost made me cry :)

OMG 10 hours..... you must have the patience of a saint :) I think I would have been crying after about 10 seconds and not stopped until it was finished... :( but then I am big girls blouse :P
