As for the tattoo, given the shape of the flowers, how about a trail of them in ever-decreasing size from the ankle to between the first two toes like one of those exotic "foot bracelets"? (Of course, that's easy for me to suggest, since I'm not the one being stuck by needles.) Not only would it be lovely, but it would discourage sock-wearing since you'd want to show it off!!!our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-46245546143975337482009-05-02T07:17:00.000-07:002009-05-02T07:17:00.000-07:00Very useful post, good instructions, thanks!

So far we have about a fifty percent approval on the tat. <br /><br />Nola, we are having rain water harvesting classes where you get a rain barrel. They class is under $30. Four hour on a Saturday. If you are interested let me know and I will get you the info. <br /><br />Racquel, I can take it. Four would be better than just one. I need more.<br /><br />Monica, The under arm parts are supposed to be really sensitive. Plus that's a lot of ink. Mine will be about as big as a half dollar on my foot. Much less pain I think. <br /><br />Cindee, We are in pretty much the same boat in the middle of the summer. When we move to a bigger place I am going to get a big barrel so we can go longer without using city water. Thanks for the tat support.Aunt Debbi/kurts momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663049154538571378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-83648000826012076202009-05-01T17:37:00.000-07:002009-05-01T17:37:00.000-07:00I would love a 3000 gallon rain barrel!

This year has been terrible because we hardly had any rain all winter)-: But today it decided to let loose and it has been raining here for a couple hours!!!! I am so thrilled!!!!<br />The picture of the flower you want is really pretty. That will look wonderful as a tat on your foot! I just got mine a couple years ago and I am 48! You are never to old. My old boss just got one and she is 70! No kidding! Just do whatever makes you happy(-: Even if your sister tells your mom!!! LOL My dad about had a heart attack but he is over it now(-: The funny part is he got one when he was in the Marines! He is almost 80! After I reminded him of that he said well that was different!

With $20 of hardware, and the extra arm of a friend (I couldn't reach my own arm down far enough to hold the washer on the inside as well as the washer on the outside spout!), I converted them to rain barrels. :) I love them. If I should ever lose, say, 50 pounds, I have a secret (um, up to now anyway) dream of having Kat von D tattoo an armband of my favor flowers on around my left upper arm. (Though I hate pain and have very sensitive skin and the prospect of losing ANY weight, let alone that much, seems daunting and impossible.
