That said she has no plans to get any more for the foreseeable future.
Which is good because we think she is just lovely as she is!

Em's New body art
Her dad and I weren't so keen on the idea of a second tattoo and a quiet battle had been raging all week. Then Em emailed us from work and set us straight. She understood our concerns but wanted us to see things from her point of view, she had given this particular tattoo a great deal of thought and wouldn't have been doing it if she felt that she would regret it. She was going to make sure it was far enough up her wrist that it could be covered easily by sleeves or bangles and that we were to all stop fighting. Well, what could we say in the face of such a well reasoned arguement?
That said she has no plans to get any more for the foreseeable future.

Come home Steve...
I need to do my nails! A week of laundry, making beds, washing dishes and cleaning has really taken its toll and my nails haven't had nail varnish on them for a week, almost unheard of! Steve due back at 6pm this evening so I will hand him the iron and nip off to sort out my poor working hands and will follow up with a nail related post ............ watch this space!
In the mean time a quick snap of Em's body art (sounds so much more refined than "tat" don't you think?!) I'm 44, when I was 18 the only people with tattoo's were sailors, hookers and vile people. I reacted like a 44 year old mum when Em announced her intention to mutilate the body I have spent almost 18 years protecting, nourishing and loving. She reacted like a 17 year old. Bit of a Mexican stand off - isn't parenting teens one long game of brinkmanship? At least with teen sons its easy - threaten to tell them their birth story! Girls not so freaked by that.
I googled "what to do when your teenager wants a tattoo" (thank god and all that is holy for google!) The first piece of advice? "Don't say no". I was off to a flying start, dont you think! She was clearly googling "how to make my mum do what I want, all the time, with very little argument" or similar because we both sat down and had an adult discussion with some compromises. This is the result.
Of course I now have to confess to thinking it's rather cute! Oh and that's ink, not blood on her neck btw! I think.
Have a fab weekend x
