Nailed it!

Have you ever seen something on Pinterest - or anywhere else - and though "Oooh, I have GOT to try that!"? Of course. We all have at some point in our lives. Well, today I tried a Pinterest project.

I plan on getting a tattoo on my wrist, to represent running, which has made a huge impact on my life. Not only has it helped me to lose weight - and continues to do so, it also relieves my stress better than anything else I have ever experienced, and makes me feel amazed at myself on a regular basis. This tattoo will simply say "keep going" and will look like this:

So I found this pin on Pinterest, showing how you can make your own temporary tattoos,seen here. I thought great would it be to test out this tattoo that I want so bad?". I followed the directions very carefully. First, with my computer, I printed the design in several sizes so I could find just the right size for my wrist. Then I carefully traced the design onto parchment paper with the new gel pens I had just picked up at Walmart.

Then I applied a warm, wet cloth and counted slowly to 30. I pulled the parchment paper away to see my new "tattoo" and this is what I found:

Yep, totally nailed it. LOL Thankfully, that same warm, wet washcloth also wiped the ink right off my skin, so I wasn't stuck with that inky mess.

I can't help but wonder if it would work....
* if I colored it a little less?
* if I left the wet cloth on for less time?

I might try again, but I'm not expecting great results.

What have you tried and epically failed at?
