Okay, here's my story...my name's Patti Slattery, I live in Big Bear Lake, CA, and I'm currently over 40. I got my first tattoo at 15. I was drunk and it was with Indian ink and a needle, very old school, and on my ass. It says 'L-O-V-E'. I didn't get another tattoo until I was 40, then I really started getting my ink together. I am a medical assistant, changed careers after 25 years of being a chef, and am still trying to get used to the change. Instead of cooking their order, I'm taking their blood and giving them injections, I can get used to this!!! By the way, I am also single, for all of you looking for a mature tattooed woman! I love movies...all the 'Evil Dead' movies, comedys, totally twisted movies. 'Strangeland' is so cool. Independents can be really awesome!!! I love to cook and bake. I'm into heavy metal, hard rock, and some rap. And I just love Rob Zombie! No matter what I do, I'll always be a chef. My ink has been done by different artists. The ones on my stomach and chest, the band on my ankle, and the tiger on my shoulder were done by Ross in Utah (R.I.P. 1996). Those will never be touched up because he was special and I lost him too soon. There are no tattoos I regret. The eyes on my back are not what I asked for, but can be fixed. The first three pics are my wrist, my back, and my leg. The leg is my grandbabies' names and the sun/moon. The next ones are my shoulder, chest, and stomach. The shoulder is a tiger, the chest is Harley wings with mine and my kids names (we were the three Musketeers), and my stomach is a sunburst and chains. And the one around my arm is the teardrop necklace in memory of my mom and step-dad. The back is a work in progress. So, that's it for me. Happy inking!! Remember, your body may be a temple, but nobody ever said you couldn't remodel it!! PEACE OUT!!!***contact: tatteddraculady@earthlink.net***
