I'm Stephanie, i'm 27 years old and i'm a single mom. I was born in Alaska, but raised in Utah while spending all of my summers either in Washington State or Montana visiting family. I went to school in Canada and now i'm working on moving to Chile. I got my first tattoo when I was 18 (it'll be 9 years on August 4th). I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, learning languages and new cultures. I'm the odd one out on both sides of my family and now including my sister in laws family due to being single, having tattoo's and a child out of wedlock so because of all of that when family get together's happen i'm either by myself or I stay home with my daughter, but I don't mind :D.

All of the guys i've dated in the past have never had tattoo's although i did get my daughters dad into tattoo's when we were both in Canada (he's addicting and going to be getting more, including one in Chile with me when I go to visit him)... anyways back on to the subject I've noticed i've had some issues dating with tattoo's (I live in Utah which affects that along with being a single mom) as for me and dating guys with tattoo's I really don't care if they have tattoo's or not just as long as they don't expect me to stop getting them.

What's even scarier is nothing comes up when searching tepersol, so you don't know the compound of it or anything so people don't know if they were to have it done if they are allergic to anything in it. also to comment on that, it looks really really gross :X

I used to have a fear of needles when it came to blood and shots, but after donating plasma for a while (not only is it helping others out, but a little extra money here and there doesn't hurt either) and then having a child i'm used to it now. When I was pregnant the last 4 months i'd go in every week to get blood drawn and tested, then when I was in labor I had an IV and an epidural. Tattoo's I love watching others get and myself getting done, I think it's neat how even though it a needle/a million needles the ink just starts appearing under the skin to make a pattern.

Jacqueline Pavan at Soma Tiger Tattoo's In Toronto, Canada She did my maple leaf outline tattoo when she worked at Yonge St. tattoo, she's also very friendly and a good artist (in my opinion at least).

Thank you! :) Here are two of my tattoo's (I can't find a picture of my first one) Tattoo number 2 the outline of a maple leaf in red, I got it because I lived up in Canada as well as my mom's dad was born in Canada and he passed away in 2011 so it has double meanings. I got it done at Yonge St. Tattoo's in Toronto, Canada Tattoo number 3, the outline of the eagle on the back of the US Quarter in blue, I got it because well I'm from the US and it's part of what makes me, me. It was done at Micah's Twisted Tattoo in Layton, Utah If there is somewhere else I should be posting the tattoo's at feel free to let me know :)

What i've found works for me is washing the tattoo really well with soap and hot water 2 hours after getting the tattoo done, then I let it air dry and use Aveeno on it (unscented) lastly for the rest of the night I tape a piece of gauze over it (i've only ever seen the gauze thing done in Canada and I like it Saran Wrap makes me feel like the area is being suffocated by blood and other liquids). I use the Aveeno every day for 2 days 2-3 times a day and after that I let it go and do it's own thing.

My next tattoo is scheduled for the end of july/beginning of august, it's going to be a memorial tattoo for my dad who passed away last September. It'll be done by Darin at Micah's Twisted Tattoo in Layton, Utah.

Hello everyone, I found this forum googling tattoo forums. I've been looking for a place where i could talk to others about tattoo's as well as look at others tattoo's. I'm a single mom to a wonderful little girl (10 months old) and I live in Utah, but i will be moving to Chile soon. I have 3 tattoo's and 4 more currently planned (pictures will be posted later). My three tattoo's have all been done in different places, more about that will be posted when I post the tattoo pictures, but my tattoo's are the kanji for Tiger in all black, the outline of a maple leaf in red on my right wrist and the outline of the eagle on the back of the US quarter in blue on my left wrist.
