Kelly's Tattoo

Here are a couple of pictures of the tattoo Kelly had done Friday night. He's wanted to get this done as a memorial to his brother for quite awhile now, and I think it turned out really well. He and his brother hunted together for all of their lives, so that's the significance of the deer.

In an aside, did you know in Montana there is no legal age requirement to get a tattoo? This means that anyone of any age can walk into a tattoo shop and get one, and for those under 18, they can do so without a parent's consent or knowledge. It's up to each shop to set their own guidelines. (This particular shop has a 14-year age limit, which frankly, doesn't make me feel any better.) Not to worry, though, there are some regulations. It is a violation of law and punishable by a $5,000 fine and up to five years in jail to tattoo anyone, including yourself, outside of a licensed tattoo shop. So at least your 9-year old's tattoo of Hannah Montana will be done professionally.

Anyway.
