#TattooThursday I’m too lazy to try to take a new picture so here’s the one from when I got it! My only tattoo currently but I plan on getting a few more once I’m more financially secure

#TT with a side of #RealFattyTalk

The tattoo is a poorly done memorial for my nephew. I was an angry 20 year old who thought this might help. Lol


I do a poor job letting other people see the vulnerable sides of me. I wanted to share this with y’all because so many people here are transparent and I want to keep it real. I have had a spot in my skin that has grown pretty aggressively since last year so I was encouraged to have it looked at. (Pretty rough family history with skin cancer including losing my uncle to it)
Last week I went to the specialist for a biopsy and have since learned that it is cancer. It sounds worse than it is, and they think it was caught early enough to be cut out. I go next week for that knife work. I could use all the prayers and good vibes you could spare. It’s been a pretty tough season.

#tattoothursday tattoo number 5 of 8. It’s the provincial flower of Newfoundland, which is where my husband grew up, and then his initials below that. (Before you tell me it’s a terrible idea to get your SO’s name on you in case you break up, he died several years ago, this was in memory of him).

My most recent of my eight tattoos. It’s a stork to represent my surrogacies-I’ve been a gestational surrogate twice, and am just at the beginning stages of a third time (partly why I need to lose weight-I’m above the fertility clinic’s BMI limit currently 😬)

No ink to share but I’ll share this with y’all.

Tattoo Thursday

I got the shamrock years ago with my brother when he got his first tattoo.
I got the numbers and the semicolon last year on Super Bowl Sunday. It’s a memorial for my brother, who’s Anniversary is tomorrow.
The 2 is for my place in the family ( I am the second oldest of 11)
The semicolon is to say your story is not over.
The four is for Luke’s place in the family.
This is not the best picture sorry the first two were pretty weird

Work = me and Joe vs. 30 children.

Didn't get a work selfie, though I certainly spent enough time there. Instead here's a post work exhausted selfie. I'm production manager for a small business that is growing very rapidly and I'm super shorthanded all the time. Been trying to hire for a while, and now I've got one employee out awaiting corvid test results.
Shit's gotta get done so if you don't have enough people, you do it yourself. After putting in 14 hours Monday, 12.5 yesterday, today I said, I don't care if the building is literally on fire, I'm leaving by 6! I did not.

Painting a tiny shot! I do have a full time job but I like to think one day I can quit and focus on art full time... Right now art is part time but still pretty cool that I reached my 30's and thought "WTF am I doing with my life?", now I have a goal! #afterworklife
