My tattoo, to be exact. For the benefit of the new people here, my SO, Cat, is a tattoo artist - he's been tattooing since about...sheesh...'91? I think? So, yeah - a while. Currently, he works with his brother and a couple other artists at a shop just outside of the Army post.
Earlier this week, we finally went back and did some touch-up on my bluejay on my arm. It's been just at 18 years - right before I got pregnant with the Monstrous - so it needed a little going over. The colors he had then were crappy powder inks, just did not last. I'd also always intended to have a bee in the tattoo and didn't get it done the first time around, so my bee is now added! Yay!
So -
Before - lookin' a little worn!
And after....
Here's a close-up of the bee.
Otherwise...no real news here. We are rather staid and set in our ways! It's finally spring, with things blooming and trees leafing and the wrens once more building a nest in the wren-house (fifth year in a row! I love it.) They're so wee and perfect and so *loud* when they're pissed off.
In fandom news - I finally saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier and HOLY HELL, it was awesome, so awesome. I really need to see it again. Natasha! Bucky! Sam! Steeeeeeeeve!!
*hands*
:)
Oh, and, also for the new people *waves*, I'm on Tumblr, a well. I have no clue if people follow me or unfollow me, so don't feel obliged to - just thought i'd toss it out there.

Enjoy your weekend, flisties!
OH AND - how could I forget this...today is the tenth anniversary of me creating my Livejournal! WOW. Ten years...feel free to quiz me about it, though my Swiss Cheese memory may not provide adequate answers..... :)
