New home

I move into my own place next Wednesday. I am so excited to have my own space again. Before getting married, I LOVED living alone. My stuff, my mess.. no cleaning up after anyone else, decorating as I wish etc. Only thing I am going to be lacking is a dog :( I can play with the landlord's Welsh Terrier, Yoshi I'm sure and he will have to suffice until I have the time to get a dog of my own.
I spent about $500 at Ikea the other day and got this bed:

Total princess bed, right?

The husband would have hated it..  which gives me all the more reason to love it :)

New ink :)

And a mere $13, too!
Cathedral Tattoos did a Friday the 13th promotion for Cause for Paws, so all proceeds from the tattoos went to help homeless doggies and kitties. So I got cheap ink PLUS helped the animals :) I guess they did about 160 tattoos on Friday. I'd believe it because my friend and I were there for for about 7 hours waiting (she was there even longer)
This particular design, and all designs they did that day are called "Flash" tattoos. It dates back to sailors getting into ports and getting a quick tattoo done. So for the Friday the 13th event, they had all pre-chosen "Flash" (very old school) and you could choose from that selection. No customs or alternations to the design. I like this little bird though.. plus it's my first tattoo with actual color! :)
