I’ve been tattooed 15 times since I was 19 years old. (I'm now 43).  Here are the stories of each of my tattoos – my tattoo tour! By the time you see this, I will have already added 1 more (the logo of the game that I play, Ultima Online), but this should get us started. Want to see more story-time videos? Thumbs up this one and let me know in the comments!

ABOUT ME:
My name is Shelly and I’m a 43-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got dry skin, fine lines starting to form, and some sun spots that I desperately wish to get rid of or cover up! Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Daffy, Polly, Ziva, and Merlin.
