Hope Gets Tatted Up

The Fab Four (and a half if you count Avery Kate)

So if the blue and purple hair wasn't wild and out of character for me then this sure is.  I have always wanted a tattoo but could never come up with something that I would want on my body for the rest of my life.  Then Katie Dorak happened.  Katie's story is inspiring.  Seeing her go through what she went through and continue to find the joy in everyday and seeing her get her "choosing joy" tattoo made me want one.  We have spent every Tuesday together for the past couple months and when the topic of getting tattoos together was brought up we were all in it together!  I searched and searched on Pinterest.  I wanted something simple that I knew I would love forever.  I chose a cross on my wrist. 

I tried to be tough.  Im not going to lie, it hurt.  Good thing it only took in a couple minutes to do it.  I can't imagine people sitting for hours going through that!

Its complete!

Chrissy was next.  She is a weenie and can't tolerate pain.  She has one other tattoo but didn't quite remember how that one felt.

Faith, Hope & Love

Katie contemplated getting her cross on her hand.  I really like it better on her arm and I'm glad she chose to place it there.  She sang in the choir shortly after getting it and that cross looked amazing!

This was not Katy's first tattoo rodeo.  She already has multiple and chose to put "be still" on the outside of her forearm!  I love the heart at the end!

I love these memories we are making together! Love you girls!
