So.. I Got My First Tattoo!!! Memorial For Leisa

**Brett** · 01-13-2009, 11:00 PM

Well this past weekend I went down to Tampa to see a friend of mine who was my best friend when we were kids, Actually found him 2 weeks ago on Facebook.. So off I went to Tampa to see a great friend I havent seen or talked to in 18 years (Since 11th grade) lol.

Anyways while down there I was telling him how I wanted a Tattoo to honor Leisa but I have been a pussy about it because I am afraid of pain and needles, well anyways... He took me to the guy he goes to and talked me into doing it... I am so glad he did, I finally have something to have on me to remember her till the day I die.....

The Tattoo as you will see below is a Heart with a Yellow Daisy coming out of it, the black around it is a shadow affect to show it coming out from the heart. Leisa's FAVORITE flower was a Daisy, so thats what I wanted to do... for her it was SO WORTH IT!!!

I wont lie... the outline hurt a little, the coloring wasnt so bad, more just annoying... But my attitude was if I can face the pain I have had to endure of loosing her, this would be a walk in the park. I just feel like with this on my body, no matter where I am at, or what I am doing... Now Leisa is a part of my body till the day I die... and that is an amazing feeling to me.

I didnt bleed at all pretty much, that red in that one pic was from when he was filling in the red then would wipe the area...... Thats not blood babe

I guess its supposed to be all flaky now? The yellow is really starting to pop out now to, the first 2 days the yellow wasnt as bright since it had minor blood spots in it, Now the color is so vivid

**teh bri** · 01-14-2009, 10:27 AM

wait til it starts peeling, it looks gross when it does that..just don't pick at it because i takes the ink our of it.. There is this cream that i got for mine.. I just forgot what its called.. but when i find it i'll let you know

**bowdown201** · 01-14-2009, 10:31 AM

**DJ Maestro** · 01-14-2009, 10:31 AM

**teh bri** · 01-14-2009, 10:33 AM

**ALVIN** · 01-14-2009, 10:33 AM

**Brett** · 01-14-2009, 11:41 AM

I was going to do her name like I said but one day I hope to meet someone and if I do, I dont want that person to have to look at another womans name everyday and plus I know what the tattoo means... thats all that matters

**ALVIN** · 01-14-2009, 12:03 PM

ily brett non homo

**Brett** · 01-14-2009, 12:07 PM

I have it on my arm so I keep Lubriderm on it and when i shower justw ash it with anti-bacrterial soap. Since its on my arm I just wear normal dress shirts so it stays covered all day anyways.

**ALVIN** · 01-14-2009, 12:08 PM

its not about being covered ya know...just let it breath when you get home lol

yea whenever I would sleep id put saran wrap on it but not when i was out and about

**Brett** · 01-14-2009, 12:43 PM

I just wish she could see it..... Id want her to know I have it, to show her how much of an impact she made on my life and for her to know that I will hurt, Grieve, Miss her and love her till the day i die.

**Echonova** · 01-14-2009, 02:50 PM

Also make sure if it's exposed to the sun (ie. going to the beach) you put sunscreen on it no matter how old it is, even if you don't put sunscreen anywhere else put it on your tat.
