Trying to stay Skinny in Texas

wanted to share my new Tattoo with ya'll. I have been affected to greatly by cancer this year by all these precious children I decided to get a tattoo in their honor.
Im probably going to get another one as well . I had wanted another tattoo on my other foot for a long time. But wanted something meaningful , or was going to get a mirror image of the one on my left foot ( that's my lap band tattoo , cherry blossoms ) So a bunch of us who were involved in Cheyenne's Day of Hope Benefit went and got tattoos .
Fight like a girl was Cheyenne's moto and she use to say Cancer Sux ( instead of Sucks! )


Mine is the one on the Left . Brittney's is one the Right .


My husband who never ever wanted a tattoo is in his life got one . His is the one on the right. Brittney's husband's is on the left !

Individual state laws for tattoo artists, tattoo shops and body piercing are changing. Some pending legislations, if passed, could require:

� Registering with local health departments and bi-annual inspections.
� Courses in bloodborne pathogens and tattoo infection control.
� Current Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Certification.
� Apprenticeship programs with mandated hours of hands-on-experience.
� American Red Cross First Aid Certification.

Many states are passing new legislation for the Tattoo and Body Piercing Industry. These new laws will help to further protect the general public, the tattoo artist and the body piercer performing the work and create a higher level of standards for the industry. States that previously outlawed tattooing, have now passed statutes to allow it. Hopefully this will bring many underground tattoo shops above ground. Even individual state blood donor programs will benefit from the new laws as well.

Are you looking for a tattoo apprenticeship program, or do you already have a portfolio and the skills needed to be a tattoo artist?

Or are you looking for a piercing apprenticeship program, and already have the certification to perform body piercing?

Photo Blog: Hanging At The Tattoo Shop

got my first tattoo when I was 15, and since then, I�ve spent countless hours in a chair, listening to the ongoing buzz of a tattoo machine carving into my skin.

Recently, I went to hang out with some of the artists at A Million Tattoos here in Austin, Texas. These guys are super cool, and super talented. Thanks to Jason Masarik and Shane Watkins for letting me drop in whenever I want with my camera.

They�re having a grand re-opening this Sunday, the 25th. There will be give-aways, raffles, and an all around good time, so come out, meet the artists, hang out with me, and have a beer.

Here�s the link to their Facebook invite: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=114662875222413
