All done! Almost 4 hours later my first tattoo is complete. Sooz, my tattoo artist, is an amazing woman! Her attention to detail and love of her work was incredible. She even added the small butterfly in honor of the baby that we lost 6 years ago.
As far as the tattoo goes, there is quite a bit of meaning. Where the Wild Things Are is one of my all time favorite books. I can't count the number of times I have read it to the kids. Each of the kids picked a Wild Thing to hang from the vines. The vines represent Jennifer and I, intertwined, leading to each of the kids. The vines also spell out NANS, which is the first letter of each of the kids names. The butterfly is in honor of our baby, and is placed between Nathanael and Sarabeth.
I have been planning and thinking about this for years. Thanks to my beautiful wife for encouraging me to finally get it. I'm so excited its done!!
