Painted Ladies

My friend, @grantcobb1, is in town so it was time to schedule more time with the needles!  Last year in February, we were on @chimneyfallcat's birthday cruise and several of the Chimneys agreed to get DC flag tattoos (we drink sometimes).  Five of us went in tonight and four came out with new ink!  There are a few others that will be joining us soon and we'll be there to cheer them on.  Pictures of the other's DC Flags are forthcoming, but here we are hanging out at Tattoo Paradise during the process!

This is a 'just finished' shot of my arm.  I know artists hate to work on other people's stuff, but it was time to add new significance to the original stop smoking star from San Antonio.  It will never stop being what it was, but it now also represents "home."  After today, Grant has done and/or modified all of the art on my body.  I'm a happy chimney.
