Tattoo Session #2
The tattoo adventure continues. This weekend I had an appointment at The Mercy Seat and it was great weather down in Kansas City.

Sunday was I was off to the The Mercy Seat to get some more work...

I have been thinking about getting my first tattoo for a while now. I have always appreciated the art of tattooing. Terra got her tattoo on her 30th birthday and she wants more. This year I turn 40 so I want to go a head and get inked. I am a little compulsive when I decide to do something so I am sure this will be no different. Over the past few weeks I have been looking all over the web for examples of what I want to do.
