It was so nice of Chrissy to have me over to her lovely St. Albert home for a visit and a night! We practiced our rockstar playstation skills, and I practiced my culture shock of her many remotes & buttons in her home! The next day we went to see a psychic eeeeeeeepppp! It was very spiritual. but shhhhhhhh all predictions are documented in my private journal. She did say my life is at a stand still for now….and I need to be patient…and lots of other things in my hour and half reading…but enough of this!
Now to my OTTAWA adventure! My quarters at the YMCA! Many people asked WHY did I stay there? Well 1) it was cheap! 2) it was at the heart of downtown 3) no curfew 4) no fuss no muss, all my stuff in one spot, and a great homebase

The first day in Ottawa I spent with my one of my best friend’s Monroe. We got tattooed! It was my first tattoo so it was very sentimental. I chose a yellow rose – for friendship. She got one too. I know cheesy right….but if anything were to happen – the yellow rose represents friendship but not just hers…the fact that all my long time friends are in Ottawa – these are the friends I hold the deepest love with. Those who know me in and out, those who know how crazy CARAVISION can be….those who were around LONG before CARAVISION…back when it was Cara Beara of love and affection <3
Some flicks:
weeeeee we are ready!
eeeep!
baddass buddha!
stencil going on!
I also wanted to get the tattoo in the most non-invasive place as possible. and where else would that be but LOWER BACK! but WAIT all girls have it in the middle on their lower back which is also quite widely known as a TRAMP STAMP….ewwwww I didn’t want that…so I cheated and did it to the side

and here we gooo!
pretty much my face throughout the whole time!
WOW! what a painful sit in. The first part (outline) wasn’t that bad….but once the skin was all tender and sore…doing the colour was ROUGH! every five minutes I was like HOW MUCH IS DONE HOW MUCH IS DONE?!? I’m sure I scared all tattoo candidates cause I was at the VERY front of the shop. Monroe sat by me the whole time reminding me: “You want it to be complete right?” “Think about how beautiful it will be!”
and it turned out awesome! (2 hours later…)

and the final product
Monroe’s turn! She got a rose and an anchor…to cover up a tattoo she didn’t like…I could only stay for a bit of her outline..cause I had a previous engagement – getting ready for my KARAOKE party to see the rest of my lovelies <3
looks sweet! (stencil only)
it def wasn't her first tattoo. she looks so relaxed
enter KARAOKE! yea…so I forgot about my camera, and I also forgot about KARAOKE b/c I was SO HAPPY to see all of my friends in one place! I was just so happy to visit with everyone! Thanks Veljko, Johnny, Scott, Lisa, Kerri, Harry D, Monroe for coming out!! and of course Kenny (who kidnapped me shortly after <3).
I was SO HAPPY to see everyone….that I forgot about Karaoke…oh well! Although I think Monroe was most upset about the Karaoke forgetting…as she left in a jiffy….SORRY we will do KARAOKE another time promise!
