Spilled ink in the shape of a puzzle piece.

So, on Wednesday, I was thinking of what I wanted my next tattoo to be. And since my great grandma just passed away, I decided to get one to remember her. She was always doing puzzles when I was at her house. So, I decided to get a puzzle piece on the inside of my left wrist that has a green and blue gradient for coloring. So, around noon on Thursday, I went with my Birthday money from my Aunt Kim, Uncle Rob, Devin and Grandpa Wheeler, and got my tattoo. It is beautiful! Not knowing what anyone would say, or what was about to happen, I went in search for my grandma to show her. She was at home, with my Aunt Tina. I went to her house, and was like, "Look what I got!" and pulled my sleve up to show the puzzle piece. My Grandma started to cry. Earlier in the day around 7 am, she wrote a poem titled "A Puzzle Unfinished" and after she had written that, she found out that my Great Grandma had left an unfinished puzzle on her table at home the day of her surgery, saying, "I'll finish it when I get back home." I showed my Aunt, and she wanted to get the same one, but was wondering what I would say. I said that it was fine, since it is a family thing. So, we went down to get hers done. After we got that done. We went back to get Kiara, and went to our house, and showed my mom after reading the poem to her. She wanted one too. I ended up calling Nate, and had to run to get some food for my Aunt. In that time, my sister got home, and heard about the tattoo. She wanted one too. So my mom said yes. So, when I got back home, we went and got their tattoos. My mom's is on her right ankle, and mine, my Aunt's and Jess' are on our left wrist. Now I'm just wondering who's next.

All tattoos were done at the Oracle in Holland. Inked by Brett!

I'll post pictures later.
