| Tattoo #3, age 20 March 2002 Touched up November 2003 A blue and green faerie with black hair on my right ankle, also done at Spider's but by Darrell I am including the Amy Brown original drawing so you can see what the faerie looks like since my picture is a bit fuzzy and I changed the colors |
| these are just what I have now... I'm always planning more... |

| I made it my goal to compete with Alyssa Milano, who got tattoo #8 done in late 2002/early 2003. I used to want to compete with Angelina Jolie, but she's got like 10 that are always being added to/changed/etc. Clea Duvall also has 10 small/random ones that you can't see. Alyssa has commented about how tattoos are fun and addicting and empowering and all that stuff that is exactly why I keep getting stuff done to me. Holly Marie Combs also has two really nice flowery, tribally bracelet tattoos that I like, and Shannon Daugherty and Rose McGowan have tats as well, it must be a Charmed thing. :) |
