Tattoo You...er, I mean Tattoo ME at SPEED BAG II

[MsDeville]

I just made an appointment at Broken Heart Tattoo in Keyport, NJ. Tattoos aren't cheap, are they? Oh well, you only live once, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I hope you get something good... and original (not out of a book)...it will be with you as long as you....are!

I got my first tattoo at 43. Yes, it took that long to know what I wanted, design the tattoo and find the right artist for the work. Although more accepted now, I had to make sure they would be covered by a dress shirt for work. It's a good pain & addictive too! Always leaves you wanting more...kind of like baggin'

Here's what NOT to do

Mrs. D, hope you get it toward the end of the festivities. I don't have any tattoos but understand that you have to take care of them at first. It may not be conducive to good fun speed bagging. Hope it doesn't hamper your excellent talents during our stay.

Sorry about not responding sooner... I'm still trying to catch up on all that lost sleep while I was in Speed Bag Heaven, aka SB II!

But, to answer your question, Zaza... all in due time...

Well, to be totally honest, I chickened out – temporarily, that is. Partly because of that scary "Bad tattoos" link you posted, Zaza. But, I discussed it with some of the SBF members in Keyport, and they suggested that I get it at home. Soooo, I'm going tattoo parlour hunting this holiday weekend. I'm planning on getting a small, simple tattoo in a "tasteful" location on my upper torso, out of sight. I've asked "Trainer Raul" if he'll take pictures of the event... You know, for the grandkids!

And, I'm VERY pleased with the results! Sam, the tattoo artist did a great job. I love his interpretation of a speed bag. It has a vintage look to it.

Anyway, here's a photo of it. I have a video of it on my Facebook page (Denise Goheen Mandeville), for those who have a Facebook account.
