Nikki's Blog: Tattoos...

Tattoos.. Body art or body damage???

So..... I like tattoos, not on me but I like certain art on certain people. I have never really been one that could ever make a firm, concrete decision about what I would want on my body forever if I were to get a tattoo. I mean I have a hard time deciding what I want for lunch never mind thinking about a tattoo. The only thing that I thought that I could muster up was getting a heart similar to heart from a graffiti artist known as Banksy. Simple, little, cute, easy and maybe painless???

So my friends and I had a little going away party for our dear friend Diego. I met Diego in 2007 while working at Bacaro. We instantly became great friends and I have shared some of the funniest and most insane moments of my life with him. He is short, half Spaniard and half Swiss which adds up to just plain amazing. He is hands down one of my most favorite people walking around this planet. We both moved away from Boulder in 2008 but were fortunate enough to be reunited after 3 years last month and spend some time together here again catching up and reliving the good ol' days.

He has unfortunately left us again to move to Panama to be with my other bff Lindsey.

For this little going away party we had a huge paella, wine, whiskey, and of course tattoos.

Just A little history: Diego bought a tattoo gun while living in London and has been mastering his skills by practicing on himself and others that are interested in having a little ink. Here's one thing to keep in mind, Diego doesn't really know how to spell but only tattoos letters/words on people....

So after a few hours of hanging out and getting sentimental about our past and how we are so lucky to have met each other and have such an amazing friendship and drinking wine and whiskey we got to business and got inked yo!
