commemorative ink

A few of The Cheerios approached Saucy with an idea about how to commemorate their stellar season. Saucy wasn't so sure at first, but they were adamant and eventually won her over.

The only problem was obtaining permission from their parents. This bit was easily solved, Saucy sort of fudged up some fake identifications. Besides, Saucy is almost like a parent to them. You might recall when they wanted their ears pierced at the end of the first season and Saucy got written permission from the mothers of Dee, Daisy Duke and Beegie - it's kind of the same thing. Only not a piercing.

These Cheerios decided to do something a little more permanent. They'd been talking about it for a while and put a great deal of thought into it. They'd planned it for at least three days.

Saucy helped them with the artwork and they took it with them... they all wanted the same image. They wanted something that reflected their sense of team unity and their lurrve of cupcakes.

It didn't take too terribly long. In fact, Saucy is kind of generally repulsed by needles but the whole thing was fascinating and each tattoo only took about forty five minutes.

Unfortunately, photography is not permitted inside the shop. It must be a privacy issue. At any rate, they are all under eighteen years of age and Saucy didn't want to tip that off to the shop owner. Where we live, you have to be over eighteen to get ink done.

Here they are - outside and relieved for the hard part to be over! They're all bandaged up. They can't wait to be completely healed to show off these beauties... they just look a little bit inflamed and red right now.
