Jennifer, Cynthia and Jordan all made appointments with Wicked Ways tattoo parlor a couple of months ago in anticipation of Jennifer's 35th birthday celebration. Here she is showing her family names tattood to her forearm.

In addition to her family names, both Jennifer and Cynthia got a wine glass tattoo. If you look closely, the splashing wine makes a heart-shaped drop! Cool.

Below are the two girls comparing their tattoos. To the right is Jordan's new belly button piercing. Personally, I do not like piercings and almost threw up right on her belly. Not shown is that Cynthia also had additional piercings to her ear lobes.

Well, it didn't end there. We were fairly close to Eddie V's seafood restaurant and took the party there to celebrate the new body art.

Multiple alcoholic beverages and a lot of silliness ensued. But we all had a great time and now they are trying to convince their dear old relative (ahem... me!) to get a tattoo on my birthday. We'll see. I may have to start drinking way ahead of the event to do that one.
