Getting tattoos together

My oldest daughter has wanted to get a tattoo for over a year. She wants Garfield. I told he we should get one together her Garfield and I’ll get Odie. She loved the idea.
I’m not a fan of Garfield but a mother daughter tattoo session will be nice. It will be her first tattoo.
I will pay for hers with my online earnings and I asked my husband to pay for mine as my birthday gift this year. We are scheduled to have it done the Monday before her birthday in May.
The photo is not my own I found it online and it is what we will be having tattooed on us.

@daddyevil she is getting hers on her shoulder. I was going to get mine under my left arm on my bicep but I’m not sure now. We might make the hands when put together form a heart which was her idea and a cute one.

Those are super cute. I got my first a month before turning 50. It is a butterfly in memory of my granddaughter, who passed away, in 1999. Her name and the year is below it. Later that year, I got a modified cross with a rose and vines my son drew. It's pretty and a year later, added a vine with roses. I was going to have my grandchildren names on each leaf but never went back. Now turning 67, my skin isn't so firm and decided no more.

I told my 14 year old niece, who wants a Sonic tattoo, to just make sure she’s willing to have the same design on her body as an 80 year old as she is now. Suddenly, she wasn’t sure she wanted a Sonic tattoo.
I understand wanting to share a bonding moment with your daughter. My parents weren’t/aren’t tattoo people, and I would have fainted if they had ever gotten one. But it’s so cool to share that with your daughter.

I love Garfield. My daughter went with her best friend at the time and got several tattoos. That's cute.

@celticeagle I liked Garfield a bit when I was a kid but not as an adult. I will enjoy having the tattoo for her though.

@wolfgirl569 I hope so too and hope they look just as nice when I’m much older. My fly tattoo on my arm that was done when I was 18 has faded a lot from the sun.

Oh how nice is that.
I could have had a father son tattoo session with my dad but he wouldn't have got the same tattoo as me.

@Ineeddentures that still would have been nice though I think to do it together. I guess I should be happy it’s Garfield and odie and not something odder

@GardenGerty we did so many things together when my older kids were little. It’s so nice to do adult things with them now. I hardly get my son to do anything but he’s a pretty moody senior is high school.

That would really be nice. That's a great idea to get a tattoo together and I hope to see them when it's done.

Sounds like a fun idea to get Garfield & Odie mother/daughter tattoos.

I don’t do tattoos but my son has his own tattoo business and does amazing work. Mother / daughter tattoos sound a great idea.

@Traceyjayne oh that is so cool your son has a tattoo business. You know the best place to go if you do decide to ever have one done then.

@thelme55 if we get them on our shoulders I don’t think they will be to bad. That’s where she wants hers. My upper right shoulder already has a tattoo so that leaves my left. My wrist tattoo I think hurt the most when it was directly over the bones.
