The Ultimate Souvenir.....

Wow!!! its been forever.....no we are not dead and yes we do have lives. Its just been really busy, never have anytime. Ok so this news is old but i have to post it for those who dont know yet. While we were in Kauai we bought the inevitable souvenirs that come with going on vacation. Well Jen and I kept wondering what we could get that would be really cool.........the answer was to get tattoos. We had always talked about getting them but never got around to doing it, so we decided that at the end our second week that we would get our tattoos.....finally. Well apparently Casie also wanted to get a tattoo and jumped aboard the tat ship, so at the end of our second week we talked to some of the locals and the recommendation was unanimous "go to Island Tattoo II" yeah say that 10 times fast. So we go there to set up a time to get it done at all is good until i read the appointment slip telling me that i should not be sun burned on the area that im getting tattooed. I pull up my sleeve to show Thad ( our flippin amazing tattoo artist) and he gave me my deposit back. Disappointed as i was, Jen and Casie decided to go through with it. Jen was pretty nervous on the day of, but she took it like a champ. No tears no nothin.........although she did hold my hand the entire time and i though my finger were going to fall off but thats ok. Thad and the crew were incredible, they were all way chill and laid back and we just sat and watched movies and had some Coronas while he worked his magic. I had Thad draw me up a design to have someone do here in California.....but later decided that i would have it done when i returned to the island and i will tell you now that its going to be SICK!!! Thad you do incredible work man, cant wait to go back and have you do mine. Heres some pics i will post a photo of jens finished tattoo as soon as i take a new one....all the ones i have are kinda bloody.
