Diary of a Blogger: Tammy got INK’d

Diary of a Blogger:
 
Tammy Got INK’d

It has been two years since I told myself I was going to get another tattoo (I have 3 that are hidden)... I had so many ideas in my head and I knew exactly where I wanted it BUT I was too scared to get it because of my job, my wedding day, my mother… EVERYTHING.

One day I decided to stop being scared and go back to Whatever Tattoo -In the Village (the place I got my 2nd tattoo on my back) and spoke to my artist Hershal on what I want and why I want it here.  

See when I was 17 years old I begged my Mother if I can get a tattoo of my name on my arm.  With her saying "No" for 5 months straight she finally said "Yes" (BUT TO TEACH ME A LESSON).  My mother would say that by having my name "Tamanika" on my arm made no sense at all... but being 17 and don’t listen I took that "Yes" and ran to some tattoo shop on Fordham Rd. in the Bronx and got my tattoo (my name) on my left arm.

 Now.... Many years later I SO regret getting this tattoo... NO I regret getting my name on my arm because it's like I don't know my own name OR people would walk up to me and say "Hello Tamanika"... I can’t even lie and make up a fake name with my REAL name tatt'd on my arm, Lol so my mom won & I was ready to get it covered.

Two weeks ago I started the process of covering my name. The 1st session took (4 hours)... YES 4 DAMN hours of me sitting in the chair getting something that I always wanted (a sleeve, exotic flowers... something that represents me)... My 2nd session, which was last Thursday took about 2 1/2 hours to finish (which you see pictured above).... BUT wait... I'm still not finished... my LAST session (an added flower at the bottom) will be this Thursday and I cannot wait till it's all done and do what I do best.... HAVE A PHOTO-SHOOT with my new INK.... NY INK


**I know some of you are wondering about work, etc... Don’t worry... I am always professional: wearing sweaters in the office or properly dress while I’m out on the field/ in meetings with different schools/ Principals, etc (evil grin) and remember........ I am my OWN Boss... I am a Site Director Dammit, Lol

 We Run the Night with Emily B.
Last Saturday I had a chance to attend this FAB event at Studio Arte brought to you by J’Lynn Designs AgencyPresents... this was a FAB event for us bloggers to mingle and network with other as well as interview and meet some of the FAB Celebrity VIP’s including: 
Emily B. (Formerly of VH1 Love & Hip Hop
Jessica Lynn (Founder of J'Lynn Designs Agency & We Run the Night)
 Jade Alston (R&B Recording Artist)
  LaToya Smith (Black Enterprise Finance Editor)
 Chasity Saunders (Jones/Source Magazine Correspondent Plus size supermodel for Ms. Tina)
Theresa Francine (Celebrity makeup artist)
Shirea Carroll (Juicy Magazine Web Editor)
 Cindy Thomas (Celeb chef of Feisty Flavors Catering), who also catered “A Fendi Bag Launch” last month 
& many more.

I had a great time meeting Emily... She was so down to earth and gave us bloggers a hint that her fashion line is on the way SOON as well as her reality show with Love and Hip Hop star/ friend Chrissy (Jim Jones, fiancée) which will focus they lives, careers and her new venture, which is her clothing line.. OH... for those that asked… There will be NO shoe line along with the clothing line… YES I asked her that.  I also recorded the whole interview but it is too long. Once I am able to break up this long video interview with Emily I will post in on here...
