I drug myself out of bed at 5:30 this morning to get inking with Sharpies on my daughter Jamie for Halloween dress-up day at junior high. About an hour later, Sarah came out of her room, a ghost, having done her own make-up and wearing a repurposed angel costume from last year and a black wig. Scaaarrry-fun!! I ran her sweet-and-creepy mug through a Photoshop filter for extra drama!Jamie got tats of school-pride lettering, the school mascot (a bantam rooster), her name and a cross with wings she designed and I copied. We attached pink hair extensions to her own hair and she wore a pink studded collar and (magnetic) lip piercing. Not quite sure what she is, but she was no doubt feeling pretty cool leaving for school, because it’s just plain fun to change your appearance completely for a day.
It will be interesting to see how the make-up, tattoos, and all that fake hair fare by the end of the day!

I LOVED her makeup!! How very cool. Really enjoying your blog and just became a follower. Even more fun—we're neighbors (sort of). I'm just up the road in Windsor.
Holden - You have a future in tattoo art, you know, if the graphic design/craft blogger/goddess of the universe thing doesn't pan out. :-) Great job!
How cool is it to have a mom that can do that? Love it, as always!
Such great costumes :) I needed someone to help me with tattoos this morning... Alas, I went as Starbuck of Battlestar Galactica sans tattoos.
The girls look great! I love that they feel confident enough to dress up and have fun. LOVE Sarah's makeup. She did a great job. Nice tat's too!
Love the tats. You did a great job on those cute girls.
