Now a lot of people in this world play catch with their dad, or maybe learn to cook with their mom. Some people go on happy family vacations, sit down and eat dinner together at a table, or build something together. My family is a little off kilter from the traditional. My dad and i have one thing we love to do together, and that is go to concerts. Since i was 12 he's been taking me to rock show after rock show. I think i can honestly say i have one of the coolest dads in the world. Even after being run over by a water truck, in the hospital for over three months, and still kinda crippled, the first thing he wanted to do when he got home was go to a show...and get a tattoo. He mentioned to me one day that he was thinking about getting something. So i mentioned that i wanted to get something with him. I had been thinking about this for a long while and i knew when we should get. Social Distortion logos, naturally. We've seen Social D together probably about 5 or 6 times and those nights are some of my best memories with him. Infact we're going again in October.
So after about half a day of deliberation, we drove down to the tattoo parlor and got inked together.

My dad's
This was both of our's first tattoos, and i'm not going to lie, it hurts. Like a bitch

Our artist.
Aww, that's so cute! I think that is super awesome! I got a few stars on my inside ankle, and it really didn't hurt too badly... just when it was close to my bones. I would love to get another some day, but working in education means I have to be a bit reserved. Cool post!
ReplyDeleteI love it! My husband an I have been talking about getting matching tattoos for ages, but we can never seem to agree on what to get.
ReplyDeleteMy father in law and I bonded over tats as well. He passed away about 4 years ago but I can still remember us being together the first two times I got ink. He of course got some too! Love him and miss him dearly :(
ReplyDeleteSo fun! That is awesome you guys got tats together! Not sure if I could ever convince my dad to do that with me. I only have one, but want to get more!
ReplyDeleteYou're one lucky girl to have such a kick ass Dad...LOVE the tats! They are EPIC.
ReplyDeleteHow cool are those tats!? You do have a cool dad. My dad wasn't happy when me and my sister were showing each other our new tats. And we were in our 30's!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!! :):)
