So Jordan got a tattoo!

He's been talking about getting one for years. We originally told him he had to be 18. But last summer, we changed our minds and told him if he could be responsible enough to pay for his driver's training classes and get his license, then he could get it early. It was a nice incentive for him to do something I needed him to do :::snort:::

He does not have his license yet. But he paid for his schooling, took 24 hours of classroom time and passed the written test 4 weeks ago! The school hasn't fit him in yet for his 8 hours of driving with an instructor UGH. I have NO idea how long the wait will be, but I am getting quite frustrated with them!!

Anyway, we told him he could go ahead and get his tattoo. So last night he went. His friend John and Isaac were there. Oh, Zach was there, too. Zach's dad is the tattoo artist. Doug and Allen went down because Donny needed written permission since Jordan is a minor.

Here he is getting the outline. It wasn't too bad he said. But when they started the color, he got quite faint! Donny forgot to tell him to eat first, and they planned to go out to dinner afterwards. So John and Isaac ran to get him a Mountain Dew while Doug, Zach and Allen sat there waiting for Jordan to cry :::snort::: He never did cry, but he almost passed out. He's little a little green, eh?
Here is his finished tattoo. He wanted a bass clef since he plays bass guitar. Donny made sure it put it nice and high so his t-shirt sleeve will cover it. You cannot play in the worship band at church if you have a visible tattoo. So he made sure it can always be covered.
I think it looks nice, actually. I am pleased he chose something nice. He debated between that and a very nice cross. He said maybe the cross next time. We told him when he no longer lives here :::snort:::: We would not have allowed an icky, evil looking tattoo. But this isn't bad.
