I THINK A TATOO IS SOMETHING TO BLOG ABOUT!!!!

So, every time we go to Vegas Steve talks about getting a tattoo. He has always wanted to do a bike chain around his ankle. We've even ventured into some of THE scariest tattoo places in Vegas and decided maybe not a great idea.

Well, the other night he got it in his head again (maybe because of our Vegas trip in a couple of weeks) He figured out what he wanted to have done and the two of us ventured out to find the tattoo parlor.....


Here is his nice clean non tattood leg...

Happy as can be. Almost looks like I do when I have an epidural and I'm waiting to have a baby...

But right when that needle hit his leg, he was dieing!! You should have seen his face, it really must have hurt! He said it felt like a sodering iron on his leg (not that he's ever felt that before!)
A little tattoo action...
40 minutes later and Voila..... A Lotoja bike symbol is Steve's forever!!! It's a great accomplishment for him to remember forever, riding LOTOJA 5 times and getting 1000 miles!! Even though he'll probably ride it more than 5 times! (for those who don't know, LOTOJA is a bike race from Logan UT to Jackson Hole WY 206 miles)

And for those of you who don't believe in tattoos, or want an object lesson for your children about "why you should never get a tattoo" just show them this bloody picture!!!


A little video footage of the tattoo action.....

Awesome dude, and yes... the bloody picture makes me NEVER want to get one! Can you believe those people that have them on their face? How bad does that hurt??? Way to go Steve, the LOTOJA really is such an accomplishment (even though my friend did it on a mountain bike, haha.. just kidding couldn't resist!) Can't wait to see it for REAL!

Wow Steve, you are brave!

Nice! What about you Kristen? When are you going to get a tattoo? I am thinking you should get a aerobic step put on your lower back ;) Ha Ha! Careful, those tattoos are addicting. Even though it hurts like HELL. I want another....but hubby says no. :( BTW I love the tattoo (and the location of it)
