Brad has been itching to get a new tattoo since it had been a while since his last one. We finally had a little bit of fun money to spend, so he was really excited to go. I brought Brad's ideas to American Traditions Tattoo in Oak Harbor to see if they could draw up an idea of the two tattoos Brad wanted. The first tattoo was the Cadillac symbol in remembrance of Grandpa Tesch. The old Cadillac symbol had a crown on it, so Brad wanted that old school look incorporated into it. It also had ducks on it, which really isn't Brad, so I recommended that he turn the Cadillac symbol into a family tree and use stars instead of ducks. Grandma and Grandpa Tesch on top, then Barry and Debbie, then Marc, Brad and Jenn. She drew it up and it looked just the way he pictured. We were in the tattoo parlor for about 4 1/2 hours. She was such a perfectionist. Making all of the colors so vibrant and making it look so detailed. She was amazing to watch, such a great artist. She even put rust onto the tattoo to give it the old school flavor.....really neat.
Brad's second tattoo went on his ring finger. His wedding ring has been beat up so bad from work and he couldn't wear it to the gym because it bothered him when he lifted weights. I drew it when he asked me to marry him and he loved it. It means North Star....which of coarse is me :) It took no time for her to tattoo it since it was so small, but you should have seen Brad's face....it looked like it hurt really bad. He told me that it was worth the pain. It was really funny to see such a big guy make that face. He's so damn adorable.
He loves me so much and that makes me so happy. I'll get a tattoo after the wedding, I promised my dad I would wait :)
