Mom is so proud...

I got myself a 30th birthday present. Here is a pic. I got my first tattoo when I was 20 and have always wanted another one, so I figured my 30th birthday was as good a time as any. I'll have to say that my mother took it very well. I knew that my dad would just be like, "Well, whatever...nothing we can do about it now." But when my mom found out about my first one ten years ago, she cried. She was going through some hormonal stuff at the time, so that could have contributed to her reaction. I told them a few months ago that I wanted to get another one, but I don't think they thought I would ever actually do it. Guess they were wrong. Yes, it hurt. But I love it. That's all that matters.
