Tattoolly Hooked

At school I was always the sensible one who worked hard and never did anything out of the ordinary.  I'd rather stay in than go out and enjoyed nothing more than a cuppa tea and a good movie.  I always felt that I'd missed out on something by not wanting to go out and do as everyone else did.  Little did I know I was just a late developer.

I got married at 20 and had Aimee by 22 and it was only then I really started to discover who I was.  I took up Polercise classes, started going out more and much to everyone's shock I got a tattoo.  If you'd said to me at school I would ever get one I would have said you were mad.  Well I've just gone out and got my third one!  I've heard once you get one you're hooked and it true.  I was only going to have the one and I just keep getting the itch for another.

My most recent addition is a vine on my ribs.  You may have seen in one of my previous posts the one on my ankle, it was much more painful despite all the talk that the ribs are the worst to get done.  Does anyone else have any tattoos?  Or were you late in comimg out of your shell?


Apart from my ankle my other two tattoos will only ever be on show when I'm in a bikini.  I got them for me and I don't regret any of them.  I thought hard before getting each one and was careful choosing the design so I wouldn't get bored of it. I'm happy with three now but you never know if the itch will come back again lol

Decisions, Decisions...

Only 16 days until I go on holiday and I'm so excited!  Of course I'm facing the usual dilemma, do I really need a new bikini?  I have a drawer full but a holiday just doesn't seem complete without something new to make you feel good on the beach.  I want to go for something a little different this year and I've picked out a few of my favourites to see what you think. 

Saying all this I'm actually going on holiday with Paul, Aimee and my in-laws and I don't know how comfortable I'll feel wearing a bikini in front of my husband's parents.  Because of this I've also been looking at swimming costumes just in case.  I'd love to get out in my bikini though to get a bit of colour and show off my tattoo.

I've been trying to be good for a few weeks so I look trim on the beach and have somehow ended up heavier than when I started!  Does anyone have any good tips on how to tone up in two weeks or cheats to make you look good on the beach?

Sorry about the small pics everyone but my laptop is just not playing ball tonight.  I'm really liking the idea of a skirted swimsuit (covers a few more of the stretch marks lol) 
Is anyone else having the same dilemma as me?
