I tattooed my wife's name on another man today.  Her dad.

We spent some time retouching an older tattoo he has, and then I tattooed the names of all his kids on his left arm.  He wanted them in order of birth, each slightly shifted to the left to give them all an 'equal billing'.  Ha ha ha ha.

Good times. It's such a bonding experience, tattooing someone.  While I love tattooing anyone, it's quite special when it is someone I already have a unique connection with.  Like some of the tattoos I did when we were in the UK.  Just getting the time to spend with good friends and family in that one-on-one situation is pleasurable enough, but to leave them with a permanent mark; a piece of art that not only really means something to them, but also marked the time we spent together - that's something I really enjoy. 

We had a great time, and Beth's dad has a great new tattoo.  I love it!
