Today I have a special feature for you! I get to introduce you to Emily of Fishee Designs. As well as being a fab blogger, she’ll also bring a fab photo booth to your wedding (Providing you book of course!). I’ll hand straight over to Emily..
I LOVE tattoos, I love getting them, I love having them, I love other people with them, I just adore them. I have even been known to have been caught in the act, full on staring at someone checking out their tats! It has only been down to a lack of expendable cash that I am not covered in them head to toe, oh how I wish! However, Brad, my future husband-to-be (nope, I have no ring on my finger yet but it is on the cards – we have talked at length about it!) will be the only man of our generation in the nursing home with out a single piece of art on his body – well his body is a piece of art in itself, but then I am biased! We are polar opposites when it comes to the ink. I casually slipped in to conversation my booking for the start of my new sleeve and a shriek of “WHAT!!?” followed by a roll of the eyes was my response. He isn’t against tattoos, he just appreciates them from afar, and he is stuck with me now so he had better get used to it!
My tattoo artist of choice is Lucille from Scribe in Pokesdown, Bournemouth. Ever since she did my 6th tattoo on my right arm, I was hooked. Her tattoo design and my style marry perfectly together. Lucille said “I have to admit, you’re so easy to draw for, you just have such great style. It’s so much fun coming up with new designs for you”. Most of my tattoos follow a similar theme and characteristic, they all mean something to me and are a symbol of a particular time in my life. They tell a story and they pin point particular happy moments in my life. Each time I have got in the chair ready for my next one, they get bigger and better, my newest one has been inspired by my love of the water, and true to the name, all things Fishee! I sent Lucille over a rough idea of design and a week or so later she sent me the most beautiful mermaid design. Apparently a few of their customers that spotted it were very jealous that it wasn’t for them.
One of my favourite things about tattoos is how they look in photos, I covered this more on a previous post for my regular series of Wedding Wednesdays on my blog. I love looking at Tattooed brides on Pinterest, you can check out the board here. Were you a tattooed bride? Are both you and your other half tattooed? Or are you like me and alone in your love for them within your relationship? I would love to hear your thoughts, tweet me @fisheedesigns and tell me more! Below are some of my favourite Tattooed Brides that I have found on pinterest. I can’t wait until I get a ring on my finger and my ass in a wedding dress that shows off all my wonderful tats!
