This was not a rash decision as Jeff and I had been thinking about getting a tattoo for the past couple of years. We both had some idea of what we wanted. Jeff had designed a 7/11 figure that he liked to signify our wedding date. I on the other hand wanted to get a scripture that's been heavy on my heart throughout the past couple of years (James 1:2-18).
When we walked into Freedom Ink, we were warmly greeted and explained what we were wanting. They had openings for both of us. Jeff was tattooed by Zach Dole, and I was tattooed by Stephanie White. Both did an awesome job! As most of you know, I am extremely anal when it comes to cleanliness and organization and this place was spotless! With a little Ben Folds playing in the background, our minds were at ease.
Zach Dole started on Jeff's tattoo, while Stephanie drew mine out. As Jeff's was about halfway done, Stephanie got started on mine. As I watched the needle and ink go into my skin it didn't seem as bad as I thought it would. However, after only getting through the 1 and the 8, I started to feel a little light-headed. I asked Stephanie for some water and she kindly got me a glass. I also realized that it was about 1 pm and I had not eaten anything all day...this was not good. I guess my blood sugar was a little low, so after about 10 minutes we were back on track.

On Jeff's left side. The picture is sideways, but it is actually a 7 with the 11 as a part of it.
I figured this was blog worthy, because most of you will not see us for atleast 2 months and now you know a new random fact. If you are considering getting a tattoo, definitely check out Freedom Ink!
