I managed to squeeze it in after the bike run. My sister-in-law, Chantel, called Time Bomb in Findlay and Scott said he could do it. I was glad! Anthony kept telling me I could get it done next weekend but I really wanted to get it done this weekend. Kinda like I want it done and I want it done now! lol
I decided on getting Carleigh's right hand print on the back of my right shoulder. I wanted to get 'Carleigh McKenna' but with the small size of her hand it would look too odd having both so I just went with 'Carleigh'. Scott wrote out Carleigh's name himself (and I doubled checked to make sure it was spelled right).
I had quite a crowd getting it done. My mother-in-law and my cousin (Judy and Bre) were there from the start and then Anthony and his dad (Bud) came about half way through. Anthony's dad took some pictures.
Now this was my first tattoo but I wasn't nervous at all. Needles don't bother me. I poke people with needles all day for my job and I don't mind getting poked with them either. I was pretty sure it would hurt at least a little bit. Chantel figured I'd do just fine since I "smile through labor." lol The worst part was just getting started. Scott did Carleigh's name first and then her hand print. At first I was wondering how anybody could possibly think of getting a second tattoo but once I got used I could see why. You just get used to it.
I think it turned out really good and I love it!

Oh Holly I love it!!
I love it! It is truly a beautiful tattoo. What a special way to memorialize Carleigh.
I love hand and footprint tattoos. I keep telling Joe he should get the girls' infant footprints tattooed on the back of his calves, I saw a baseball player with that once.
Hey Friend,
It turned out great! I want to get a tattoo, but I could never think of what to get, and I am scared of the pain. . . Your's looks great and you will always have a little bit of Carleigh with you now. . . How was the bike ride?
I love it. It's came out wonderful. I've been considering getting one for Vayden I think yours is pushing me more on the side of going getting one. They did a great job.
Your Carleigh is beautiful! I love your tattoo what a wonderful way to memorialize your angel! God bless.
The tattoo looks really good! I think Scott did a wonderful job. What a sweet, memorable way to memorialize your second daughter.
I dont know if I could handle getting a tattoo, but congrats to you for getting through it with no problems.
I love it! Beautiful!!
The beginning is always the worst part, but then your endorphins kick in and it gets a lot easier.
Again I LOVE IT!

What a neat way to honor and keep her with you always. I know I was like you mom with Amber but tatoos are better then other things kids get into. It looks wonderful Holly and he did a good job. I can't wait to see it the next time you are home. Give kyndra a hug and kiss for me and I love you all.

The tattoo came out great! Now you'll really always have a piece of her with you! I also got a small memorial tattoo a few months after my son passed away. I love it (and many people copied my design). Just remember to always put sunscreen on it when you go outdoors so it doesn't fade!
Tattoo looks great Holly!!! I got one for my Austin, and I still look at almost everytime I can and remember all those times of carrying him and all the kicks and such. She will always be there looking over your shoulder!!! Great job!
O my gosh I love it! Good choice and it looks great on your shoulder!
Great idea Holly! And it came out great!
Holly, I love your tattoo. It is absolutely beautiful. Just like your precious Carleigh. What a special way to remember your little girl.
That is a beautiful tattoo, Holly, and a beautiful way to remember your precious baby girl.
