A Mechanic and His Wedding Band...

...Are soon parted.

Bob lost his wedding band the other day at work! I was steamed but he whispered it to me while he was on the phone to his boss who was looking as he talked! His boss found it - in a glove that gets left on the fuel truck to be used by anyone who is refueling an airplane! I was relieved but needless to say, it now sits safe in my jewelery box. Where it will stay. He really shouldn't wear it anyway being in the hanger it could get caught on anything from a tool to a machine to some kind of engine parts. He's pretty disappointed. But he thinks he has found a solution to his problem.

He wants to get his wedding band tattooed on. I know most of you aren't really into tattoos but it's a way for him to show his commitment without the risk of losing his finger. And it seems logical for me to get one as well...we want to figure out exactly what we want to have done first. We want something simple but not just a black band either. And probably something that is small enough to be covered by our regular rings when we wear them - so it doesn't look goofy. They are actually supposed to be cheaper than a regular ring - averaging about $100, except they usually have to be touched up because the skin on your hands regenerate so often.

Anyway...just a couple of thoughts.

Interesting idea! I'm sure wedding band tattoos are something we will see more of.

I don't think that is a good idea. As far as a commitment reason seems to me it is only to justify getting the tattoo in the first place and to spend that kind of money for stuff like that. Sorry Risa - I don't see it. Aunt Dar.

Good ol' mom, always giving 'mom' advice;) It's not something I'D do, but to each his own I guess;)

It was actually warm enuf up there to head to the beach???

LOL I'm not surprised to hear from A. Dar - when I posted this one I figured there would be some nay sayers! :) I know what she is saying but believe me - I, or even Bob for that matter, don't plan on starting to ink our bodies all over the place! Not that I don't find it somewhat fascinating, I just know it's not for me! :)

Speaking of ink on bodies...you should see Chris Dionne!?!? He's on my myspace if you want to check him out (if he's not private).

I'm not shy about getting tattoos - so I say go for it. ;)

My SIL's husband doesn't wear his ring either for the same reason. The tattoo is an interesting solution...not one I would use myself but I understand the logic....and think it's kinda cute he'd go to that length to show he's committed to you ;)
