Our Trip to a Tattoo Parlor

Okay so after reading this title you may have been wondering "What in the heck?" so let me start by telling you we weren't there to get a tattoo but you might as well hear the story from the first.

Chloe has been wanting to get her ears pierced for awhile now, which I am fine with but I know her aversion to needles so I have been avoiding it. I told her she could do it on her birthday, but alas her best friend Brydee got her ears pierced today so there was nothing doin but Chloe getting hers done as well. So we loaded both the kids along with Brydee and JayJay (since we were watching them) into the car and headed to the Tattoo Parlor. FYI from a friend the Tatto parlor was cheaper, more kid friendly, and cheaper with a bigger selection of earrings to choose from then the local Clair's so that is were we went.

Chloe was so excited on the way there, but once she picked out her earrings and sat up in the chair she started to get very nervous. Her lip was quivering and tears started to fall when they showed her the gun and how it worked. She almost leaped right out of the chair. I told her to look at me and count to three by this time she was full out balling but I figured we might as well just get it over with then one, two, snap. It was done. She cried for a minute but soon stopped when she got a sucker and we told her we could walk over and look at the animals at the pet store.

So there you have it our daughter now has earrings and she is counting down the days to when she can take the studs out and start wearing "fancy" ones.
