are you getting another tattoo?
Yep. This one is the memorial tattoo in honor of my mom. Crossed keys of the Haunted Mansion (she loved Disneyland, and the Haunted Mansion was her favorite), her dates on the heads of the keys, and a ribbon around the keys that says "Love Mom" in her handwriting.
oh Jilli. that sounds fabulous. I thought you had already gotten that tattoo. Where on your body will this be? Arm?
Oh, that's incredible, Jilli. Just fantastic.
Jilli, that's such a lovely tribute.
I hadn't gotten it yet, because there was the issue of getting the design done, and getting the money together for it. I'm going to get it on my upper left arm.
The consultation on Sunday is to find out if the design needs any last-minute tweaks, approximately how long it will take, and a price quote. And finding out if my tattooist has the UV-reactive white ink, because that's what I want to use for the dates and the ribbon.
aw... now my mother will want that AND an Olbermann-style tribute.
UV-reactive white ink
I had no idea this existed. I'm intrigued.

It's very nifty. And is a good solution to making the dates and the ribbon stand out while not involving color, since all my tattoos are black.
