TooElegantToLie had Cooper at Cow Pok in Buffalo, New York tattoo this “ode to her little girl”, a portrait of her little monster.

I hope people have a little more sense about this post than the analogous entry about the six-year old tattoo artist. Personally I agree that having your child’s artwork permanently made a part of your life is a wonderful way to hold onto a timeperiod that’s all too fleeting… And maybe will help you deal with them when they’re miserable teenagers, ha!

Anyway, Spiderlilly‘s daughter gave her a little self-portrait tattoo for her birthday, with some help from the folks at Suffer City Tattoo in Dallas, Texas. Too cute!

Bob’s tattoo, realized by Chris at Freaks on Noland in Independence, MO, was drawn in part by his six-year-old daughter who did the heart, sun, flowers, and butterfly, with the bee being added by mom.

My old and now de-boobed friend Lane took this wonderful photo of Tayla‘s beautiful new baby girl Emmalee, born on the 16th of December at a healthy 9 lbs, 7 oz (click here for a picture of Tayla and the father Jared). Emmalee is about two weeks old in this picture.
