Josh's tattoo

For a long time, Josh has been talking about getting a tattoo on his wedding ring finger. A lot of times when he drums he takes it off and also when he wakeboards, snowboards, plays sports, etc. So he thought that it would be a good idea to have a wedding band (with a J in the middle..for Jaime, of course!) tattooed on his finger. So, when he made the final decision to do it I started researching and found a good place in Fremont (that was VERY clean and had a lot of good reviews!)


The boys trying their best to look tough before the appointment

So, we made an appointment and we left yesterday to get it done, my Mom was able to meet us also. I had called ahead and talked to the girl doing it and she was very nice and helpful. I asked her if it was going to hurt him too badly and should he take some tylenol, she started laughing and said that it wouldn't be too bad, but that he could if he wanted. This whole conversation took place while Noah was screaming in the background, we were definitely not the customers that they were use to. It was no surprise when we walked in that she knew who we were before we even said, we stuck out like a sore thumb!


Noah and Ashley (or Ash Wednesday, that was her tattooing name!)

Everyone at the place was so nice and it turned out to be surprisingly kid friendly. We got this picture of Noah on the tattoo table, we were thinking that we would have a few more years before we got to that point! The funny thing was that Noah spilled on his shirt before we got there and he ended up having to put on a preppy one, so he really stuck out!

Josh is really happy with how it turned out and it didn't hurt as badly as I thought it would. From a ways away it looks like a wedding band and when he has his real ring on you won't be able to see the tattoo at all. I kept asking him if he was sure but he said he was, I guess we're stuck with each other forever now!

The final product!

Wow Josh, I'm surprised at your tatoo. Fun times! Sounds like we want to try a visit the week after Christmas if Jamie is up to it?
