Tattoos Hurt

I have mentioned before that I have a bajillion sisters, yes?

Well, to refresh your memory I have 7 sisters. 2 older sisters, and 5 younger.

Almost all of us had some variation of blonde hair while I was growing up.

Also, all our names start with "A."

It was difficult for people to remember which one of us was which. Often times people would just refer to us as a "Gregory Girl."

It is a name that stuck with us everywhere we moved. 

I got this tattoo a couple years back. In case you are wondering, I am doing a shot (of 360 chocolate vodka). Yes, that is a small tupperware container. We did not have enough shot glasses. Yes, I am wearing a wife beater with a black bra. Stop judging me.

Here is a picture of it right after I got it done. It hurt a lot less then I expected it to, which was nice. The worst parts were the sections at the front of my neck.

Yes, that is a tattoo in my ear. I'll tell you all about my ear and lip tattoos next week.

  1. It's been decided by all of my 10 different personalities, I am getting the same tattoo.

    1. This is not the first time someone told me they were going to get a tattoo of personal significance for me, on themselves.

    1. The most painful part was they way I had to hold my neck while it was being done. It was sore for 3 days.

  3. I used to own a tattoo shop. My favorite part of the job was hearing the stories behind peoples' ink.

  4. SEVEN sisters!? Oh dear Lord, no way. I couldn't handle that. Wow. I like the "Gregory Girl" tattoo. And I like the tupperware shot just as much.

  5. I'm thoroughly enjoying this tattoo series that you're doing. It only makes me feel a little more stalkerish than nusual knowing what tattoos you have on which part of your body. Do any of your many sisters have the same tattoo?
    I'm starting on a half sleeve this weekend. I'm super pumped.

    1. Only one of my sisters has tattoos and she only has 2. To be fair though, 4 of my sisters are still under the legal age to be tattooed, so who knows.

      What is the half sleeve going to be?
