Lindy ~ Glad you like it. I love it too. I wear it proudly. It reminds me of my Mom who always loved the hummingbirds. I know you're a proud Mom of a daughter that has designed some of her own tattoos, so please if you get a hummingbird don't copy mine too closely. My daughter drew it especially in memory of her grandma that we all loved and miss very much. Thanks for understanding.

Hilarious!
Flip and I went for a girlz week-end to stay at a friends place in Lewisburg, WV and one of the highlights of the trip was visit to the WV state fair
(OMG-- it was people watching heaven! My favorite moment was the 7 months pregnant woman walking with a cigarette in one hand a beer in the other-- seriously TRAGIC! Oh and STYX was the star band-- Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto) Seriously PRICELESS!
But I digress... anyway they were offering airbrush tattoos. Yes, that's right airbrush tattoos.
Most of the girlz got one and I did too. Mine was a heart with barbed wire and flames coming off the sides. I got it on my upper arm and it stayed on for nearly a week.
But that's not the funny part. The REALLY funny part is that we went tubing down the river the next day and I got a LOT of sun.
Turns out that once the colors from the tattoo wore off, I ended up with tanned-in version of the tattoo that lasted for over a month. It was an odd thing to have to explain to people.

Two Tattoos
I have two tattoos.
#1) Right shoulder of the St. John petroglyph about 4in wide and about 2-3in tall.
#2) Left shoulder blade of the Southern Cross constilation. Each star is a nautical star with color of each of my son's birth stones.
It took me a while because I couldn't decide if I would want them when I'm old. A good friend enlightened my one day by saying, "I just figure when I'm old, I won't care anymore". It made sense to me.
