Ink Tales: Number Four

So my third tattoo, but fourth time (these add-ons make for confusing numbering) didn't happen for a long time. My boyfriend, Toby, had gotten his first tattoo from Jimmy at Decorative Injections and another in WAshington, D.C., making us realize how awesome Jimmy was. The butterfly revamp was in 2004, and in 2009 Toby and I got married. We had talked about getting marriage tattoos, but hadn't committed to placements. We knew we wanted to get Bobcat paw prints, as it was the mascot of Ohio University (where we had met). Finally in the spring of 2010, we took a trip down to Athens to get our tattoos. We had decided on our paw print plus a song lyric from "In My Life" by The Beatles, which is what I walked down the aisle to. Toby designed the tattoos, his used the cursive font from our wedding invitations and says "In my life I love you more." I used our other wedding font and my favorite quote, "No one compares with you."I got this one on my hip, but low enough it should be okay after a pregnancy. I have it pictured with the ribbon from my wedding bouquet. I love these tattoos because they have so much meaning behind them; I think they are a unique way to represent our love and commitment to each other without being too cheesy. Plus, hello...it's The Beatles :)
