One Tough Titty

No, not an actual titty (I feel like that's such a vulgar word!!)

me - I'm tough.

I got tattooed on what is supposed to be one of the more painful areas...

 (you see those FIVE angry faces for his ribcage?!)

And I barely even flinched... (winced, for SURE...)

 Left picture is a good reference for placement and proportion...
closer-up of the whole tattoo seconds after he finished, as I laid on the tattoo chair...
(that bird.  SWOON.)

And the birds, oh the birds... so much meaning to me behind them...

First, being a nod to being 1 in 4...

My fourth bird is flying away - one too beautiful to stay...

The three silhouettes - it was pointed out to me that it looked like "our family" - with the two larger Mommy and Daddy birds and a small "Button Bird", and the fourth - again, the one too beautiful to stay...
(speaking of beautiful - How AWESOME did my tat-artist do on that bird?!)

**Of course, this little family is only accurate as of right now... I'm hoping there'll be more little bird silhouettes to come!

 More close-ups

and the nice red, angry, inflamed tattoo halfway through (top right)

The footprints are Button's... (obviously) and his daycare loves the fact that they are actually from one of their "masterpieces of artwork" =)

(P.S. - I've sworn off FertilityFriend for this 2WW.  I'm blissfully (kind of) unaware (mostly) of the DPO count.  Hopefully this prevents any symptom spotting - "HM - pinchy cramp at 5DPO? TOTALLY IMPLANTATION!"  and can maybe give me some semblance of the whole "I think my period's late!" vibe that I thought was gone and forever lost...)
