I had seen last years medal for the Myrtle Beach Marathon and thought if I am so lucky to finish the Marathon I would get that medal tattooed to my calf. I had so much emotion attached to this Marathon (remembering my last one) that what would be more appropriate.
A girl I work with has an amazing tattoo on her back which she had put on by her brother who has a tattoo shop called Ink Alley. I made an appointment with a guy named Jared the day after I got back from Myrtle Beach. This past Thursday I got the tattoo put on and it looks amazing. The only part that couldn't fit was the XV Annual but that is okay, I was happy it said "
Finisher 2012".
Here's the medal and the tattoo:
I took this picture of my new tattoo as soon as I got home, my calf was swollen and red, but you can tell that the tattoo is going to look amazing once it heals.
WOW, that is totally awesome Val, I love it!!!! what a great idea. You never cease to amaze me. x0
