father’s day gift montage

Waiting in the lobby of Carter’s Tattoos.
Cole applies the design onto my leg as I begin to wonder what exactly I’m doing here.
After four other tattoos, you’d think I’d be used to this feeling by now.
Cole pins down my leg so I don’t thrash around and screw everything up.
Closeup action shot.
Is it over yet?
I love you, Daddy.
That’s red ink, although the way my leg hurt I thought it was blood.
Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!
(That lyric is from James Taylor’s My Traveling Star as performed on One Man Band, and it seemed to me a perfect line to capture my father.)

That’s a cool tattoo! I remember when you got that one for your mom.
I believe I had to hold your hand through that one.

Ouch!
Very sweet idea. I’m trying to imagine what my father would think if I did that for him. This will amuse me for a long time.
