Tattoos.....

So on a bit of a different note, we both decided to have tattoos last week. This was not a random decision. We thought about it long and hard and finally decided that we were MORE than old enough to make this decision.

Naturally enough I guess, we both went for animal tattoos, a robin, and a Marley drawing, (our boy dog that passed away last September).


Here's what they looked like just a few days after they were done.







Both pieces were ably and beautifully done by Darlene Di Bona of Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoo in Jamaica Plain, MA.
Our sickeningly talented designer Bob Quinn drew the Marley cartoon and it was important to us that the tattoo remain faithful to the original work. Darlene did that like the true artist she is.
She worked from a number of sources for the robin essentially creating her own piece.

She was very patient and gentle with two newbies and we really appreciate all her hard work and tremendous talent.
