I have 4 tattoo’s so far (yes I said so far because I want more eventually, maybe) but this by far is my favorite. Â I have had it about 2 years now and it is my pride and joy as far as my art goes.
It pretty much takes up a quarter of my back on the bottom and goes from one side to the other. Â I love this one! Â Don’t forget to link up your WW below!

Owner at A Daily Dose of Toni
Hi, I’m Toni — a mom of three, psych major, Gulf Coast girly, and full-time collector of life plot twists. I’m currently navigating mid-life with caffeine, humor, and the kind of chaos that deserves its own sitcom. Between college meltdowns, Disney escapism (hey adulting is hard and Mickey doesn't judge), family adventures, and whatever fresh nonsense life throws at me, I’m documenting it all with honesty, sass, and zero attempts at pretending I have it together. Welcome to A Daily Dose of Toni — the chaos era, but make it cozy.

That is really pretty – how long did it take?!

I did it in one sitting and it was right at 6 hours. I was dying by the time we were done LOL.
That is beautiful! I love tattoos but I’m too chicken to get one. Plus, I could never make up my mind as what I would want done.

LOL I am picky too, I had an idea of what I wanted for this one. The first 3 were really easy but this one I had a specific Idea and so I explained to the guy and he drew it up free hand and showed me. I loved it and it’s an original which makes it even better 🙂
This makes me laugh because it’s the EXACT same reason I’ve never gotten one.. too chicken and I could never decide on anything. I always worry I’ll hate it once I have it too.
Toni- your tattoo is so pretty, the artist did a great job. I can’t believe you sat through that for 6 hours! OUCH!
I can see why you like that one so much. What a great tribute to your family. I love my girls but I’m way too wussy for the pain of a tattoo! LOL Happy WW!
I’m up with my girl looking at life in a rosy fashion.

That is sooooo pretty and such a relevant tattoo. You are a cool mom! My tattoo sucks. I have a picture of Mickey Mouse on the side of my leg. That is really gonna suck when I get like, 60 years old!
That is a really nice tattoo!! I’ve always wanted one, but always chickened out.

.-= Ms. Latina´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday: Spiderman =-.
Pretty! I’ve always been to chicken to get one. 😉
I’m feeling the tingling pain if it took six hours. Actually, I would’ve tapped out at 30 minutes! Great etching and color work with that tattoo though. I love detailed tattoos filled with many colors.

I like it! Very pretty and meaningful for you
I’m not a fan of tattoo’s. I almost got one in HS now that I’m older I’m SO glad I didn’t.
.-= Jennifer @ J. Leigh Designz´s last blog ..Give It Away Wednesday! Link up all your Giveaways! 1.27.10 =-.
I absolutely love all the ones I have, not one regret at all. Though I would not have gotten one in high school either, i think that’s much too young and you will probably end up with something you regret if you do. Mine are all hidden unless I am in a bathing suit so no one unless I show them will know I have them 🙂 But I am very proud of them and so glad for each one I have.
This really makes me want to get a tattoo!
.-= Stephanie@The Blue Zoo´s last blog ..Thank You Tuesday =-.
Not really one for tatoos, but that at least has meaning behind it.
.-= Deborah´s last blog ..Welcome to FeedBurner =-.

That is gorgeous! My husband is loaded with tattoos, and he is determined I will get one. I’m just not a big fan of them for myself, on others, great, but me, nope! 🙂

Hey, nice tat! Those birds are beautiful….what are your other tattoos of?
.-= Chris´s last blog ..Bridgestone Motorcycle Tires =-.
So pretty but that must have been painful.
Oh, I love that! I don’t have any tats yet, still wondering what I want and I don’t exactly want to get a tat with kid’s names until we give Boogie some siblings. So I guess until then, I’ll get something cool like a barcode, lol.
