I don't want to use family funds to pay for this ridiculous trophy of surviving my midlife-crisis - they have been awesome enough by supporting all of my endeavors, dreams, and hours away from home (both physically and mentally). However, if anyone has cash that they want to throw away on a crazy cause, this might just be your calling! I'm always giving to others - I thought this would be a fun way to give to myself.
I'm asking for enough funds to cover my tattoo and a generous tip for my amazing tattoo artist. I'm estimating that the tattoo will take about 12 hours of work, resulting in a cost of $1500. With a 25% tip of $375, that brings the tattoo total to $1875. No tattoo session is complete without snacks (My "Go To" treats are purple Gatorade, spearmint gum, and soft pretzels from the tavern next door!), so I'm rounding up to $2000. If donors are gracious enough to cover these costs, I'll gladly take care of my own gas and mileage. It's the least I can do. ;)
