Tattoo you, engagement style.
It's no secret that my office mate and I have been making temporary tattoos this week. Sometimes we get on a little kick about doing odd things in our free moments, like the time we actually created the wrestling org chart - the way our organization would be structured if we have to wrestle - because we wanted to cheer someone up and the OM had the idea stewing in her head for a while.
The tattoo fascination started before Christmas as we were cleaning out the office and came across two packages of temporary tattoo paper. Seeing as how our jobs have nothing to do with tattoos, children who might like tattoos, crafts, or anything like that, we were a bit perplexed. Times have come where we've thought that we could tattoo something, but nothing really hit home until this week with Valentine's Day. We concocted a test tattoo of her girlfriend's name. It went swimmingly. Now we're a little overwhelmed with the possibilities.
Since today is OPH's virtual engagement party, I couldn't quite think of what to write about. I don't know anything about marriage other than that this totally not-safe-for-work marriage contract signals trouble and is bad. Weddings, yeah, I know about those, and I did post a wedding dress fug guide, but that has another purpose: I really want people to stop sending me hate mail because I haven't posted there in a while.
Instead, today my gift is this:

A tattoo. Of Joel's name. OPH, I totally think you should wear this. And if you send me your snail mail address, I'll mail you one.
**I do work, I really do. The tattoo making literally takes ten minutes which just adds to the awesomeness.
So, I think this needs to be enormous, so as to fit across OPH's back and be proudly displayed from her halter top dress.
Right?

Now I need to get me some temporary tattoo paper. And make a wrestling chart. Fun for everyone!

You have me thinking what I might make for a temporary tattoo. Maybe something schnauzer-esque?

Holy crap, that wedding contract. I only skimmed over a few sentences, but my GOD. There are no words.

Uh, can I work there? I want to make tattoos!

So I didn't realize you were the mastermind behind BR until today. I suck. Or you are really, really good at keeping that site anonymous. Or both.
I'm emailing you my snai-mail address. That tattoo is awesome!

I think Jen should get it on her butt. And then Joel could get a Jen one on HIS butt. Perfect!

I love it! I didn't even know you could make your own tattoos...am I the only one?

Ha, how awesome. And, like Janet, I had no idea you could do this.
