The Great Tattoo Tweeting of 2009.

by

Subtitle: Have I seriously been yammering about this since JANUARY? Good GOSH you must be ready for the needle to be put to skin.

For those of you who have been playing along at home this Sunday is finally the day.

After months & months and MONTHS spent langishing on my artist’s waiting list this weekend I’m getting the entire outline of my Look At Me I’m Finally A Member of the 40 Year Olds Club! tattoo done.

For those of you who havent been playing along at home allow me to present the short version: Leg. Big. Seuss. Images. Quotes. (there. you’re all caught up.)

In honor of this event (& because so many of you have commented/emailed me asking about the tattoo process) I am going to live tweet the entire thing the parts which aren’t so painful I cannot.

Not yet on Twitter? You can easily sign up here.  Create a name. Get to tweeting (despite what they say it really isnt all that much of a time suck addicting).

Already on Twitter but not yet following my tweets? Im @MizFitOnline!

I figured it would be easier to twitpic /tweet while I’m having it done that way those of you who abhor all things tattoo can simply avoid it all together!

What can’t you avoid (you know, since you’re already here and all)?

  1. WHEW.
    This post just popped up and was late.
    I thought you were blowing us off today 🙂

    I cant wait for your tweets (?) off to figure out twitter.

  3. Laughing at Netties comment because I had a total panic attack when your post wasn’t up at 2am.

    I need a MizFit 12 step program.

    I love Cris Garver as well!

  5. I have avoided twitter, Miz, but you just might have me there!

    I love that corset.
    FUN LINKS!!

  6. First time reader came here through Twitter.
    Love your blog!

    Are you really getting tattoo’d?

  9. I was definitely a bit nervous to click on the TORNADO link; was somewhat relieved, tho, at what I found. Soon enough for the real ones I guess (but what age? so glad I am not a parent and don’t have to figure that stuff out).

    I am totally excited about you getting your tattoo–it is ALMOST enough to drag my aging ass into the twitter thing. Not QUITE yet, but you’re seriously tempting me.

  10. I’m dying for you to get it already Miz!! I”m totally in lovelove with tattoos, for some unknown reason, they are totally addicting huh?

    Loved those Koi Wellies– I want!

    Have a fab weekend!

  11. Good luck Miz! I’ll be out and about but keeping up on iPhone. As I get ready to depart the 40s Club let me tell you, it was the best decade that I can remember 😉

  12. So excited for you! And so bummed I won’t be here to watch it being done!

    Good luck. I know it’ll be fantastic.

  14. I want to buy that book by Kat.
    Have you seen her makeup line?

    Have a great weekend.
    I will see you on twitter!

  16. Love the corset
    Hate the shoes.
    A tat for me?
    Would take too much booze.
    Rub on tats
    Are more my style
    The embroidery?
    Right up my aisle!

  17. Bows in awe to Marianne.
    The big reveal? Was that yer plan?

    Next friday. Up in here.
    This muddled rhyme shall be clear.

    Some rub on tats. MizFit style.
    Been wearing MINE for a while.

    Phrases we use. Things we say.
    On YOUR BOD the SHORT TERM way!

  18. There is a tiny chance I will give in to Twitter for you.

    Does it take a lot of time to set up an account?

  19. I’m super excited about the tattoo tweeting!!! I’ll actually be in your neck of the woods on Sunday. I’m tempted to stalk you and see the tattooing in person. 😉

  20. At this point I don’t do tattoos or twitter! Of course, there was a time I didn’t do blogging or email.

  22. You and my girlfriend.

    Both of you want me on Twitter!

    Have a great weekend can’t wait to see photos.

  23. I’m way too chicken to even think of a tat. God, you’re brave. Can’t wait to see. Hope it doesn’t hurt too much.

  24. Hunkahubby and I are working on getting our very first tattoos. He’s designing them. So . . . do me a favor and tell me what to expect!!! 🙂

  25. Okay, I’m just gonna say it: I don’t get the whole tattoo thing!!! Why? Why is it so great? Am I really so old fashioned that I’m the only one who doesn’t GET IT?

    Please to explain, Miz!!

    And just to be clear, with or without tattoos, I will forever adore you!!! 🙂

  27. I LOVE pinup fashion. Those shoes are freakin’ adorable! Oh wait – were we talking about YOU? 😉 I’m so excited for you to get your tat started this weekend! Have a great time!!

  28. Jill so glad you asked.
    For me it is the feeling that the tattoo was always there and just rises to surface when ink is placed on skin.

    Does that make sense?

    I’ve gone to have one done before and LEFT (after waiting for the appt day etc. Yes I did offer to still pay ;)) because I didn’t have that feeling.

  29. Good luck with the tattoo!

    Does this mean we will see you embroidering little skulls on your kitchen towels soon? Or did you want Marianne and me to do it for you?

    🙂

  31. Wow Miz – that’s actually very poetic!

    That’s the best reason for wanting a tattoo that I’ve ever heard. I’m already a twitterer (a tweeter? One who twits?) so I’ll follow!

  32. Lovin’ those sheets! I’ve been toying with the idea of getting another tattoo myself, I think I may follow your lead and get one to commemorate 40 (so I’ve got a few years to pick out the perfect tattoo!)

  34. So tattoo’citing! I want to read that book!

    I’m still too flighty to know what my tattoo would be (in terms of your “always there” sense) BUT I gotta say every time I’ve gotten mehendi I’ve just gazed adoringly down at my arms and hands and felt happy to see such beautiful, intricate artwork on ME.

    (Do I have to be the first one to note that that Ami guy is easy on the eyes, tats and all?)

  35. How exciting! I won’t be online to watch but I’ll be thinking of you as I run my first 1/2 marathon 🙂

    Can’t wait to see it!

  36. I’m so excited for you! Can’t wait to see pictures of it. V. good idea to live tweet it. Good luck!

    Also this: “For me it is the feeling that the tattoo was always there and just rises to surface when ink is placed on skin” is so beautiful.

  38. How exciting!!!!!! So, is today your birthday? Out of the loop while pc was down 🙂

    I wish you a pain free experience……but gosh, you are so tough, you can handle it right? Hubby has 3 tattoos and would have more if he could!!!

    I will be 39 this month. I will have to think of something great to do when I turn 40. I’m thinking an exotic vacation ;)without kids!

  39. You are crazy, Woman!
    Does your comment mean we are getting temporary tattoos here????

  40. I can’t believe it takes this long to see a tattoo artist! This woman has better job security than anyone I know. She must be good. I KNOW! if only I could draw….

  42. Does your comment mean we are getting temporary tattoos here????

    Yes. and Im so excited!

  43. *jumps up and down* I can’t wait!!! Woo-hooooooo!!!!!

    I might need some of those tattoo sheets – the white ones. And I REALLY WANT those rain boots! (I can’t say I NEED them, since it NEVER FRICKIN’ RAINS HERE. *sigh* But I WANT them. A LOT.)

  50. I love those sheets!
    That’s about as tattoo’y as I will get I can’t take the pain!

    Did we miss the big birthday?

  51. I’m so happy for you that it’s finally here! Cannot wait to see the pics – I may have to break down and sign up for a twitter!

  53. Fun links! Love it. I’m psyched for you to beginning your big tattoo process. Will we see it in increments or not till it’s done?

    Oh – I’m emailing you a picture or two in a sec.

  55. Great fun links! Can’t wait to see your pics. Good luck–hope it turns out just the way you want it.

    BTW, the 40s are awesome. Contrary to what people say (or fear), life just keeps getting better as we age. More freedom, confidence, wisdom and fun!

    –Susan

  57. Miz – I totally understand your explaination about wanting a tattoo. I had said for years that I was going to celebrate my college graduation by getting inked. But it took another four years for it to happen. And it happened in a tattoo shop in Dallas, TX – I live in Georgia. Weird to some, but that time, that place, and who I was with made it feel “right”. And now, 8 months later, I love the tat more than ever.

  58. Followed you on twitter for some Mizfit goodness! I am excited for your tattoo-age, I’d love to be badass and get one but needles are my kryptonite, they scare me.

  59. I don’t twitter & not there yet. Something but too many messages coming in that I can’t keep up with. As for tattoos, when I could afford it, my eyebrows is as far as I would go.. permanent eyebrows (or until you have to do them again!) is considered a tattoo!

    Good luck! I just found you not so long a go so not sure I understand all the background! Well, I don’t.. HA! and I lovelove how youve jumped right in since we fortuitously met! and background? just that I adore Seuss. Love the messages about creativity & how we 🙂 adults so often squelch it in kids. And love the rhyming lilt in all his books.

  60. I am STOKED about this. A whole leg tat? That is too badass. *bows

    I don’t twat much, but I did add you. Really looking forward to Sunday. I’m going to hit forty in less than two years. Tell me what it’s like on the other side!

    • um, yes? maybe?
      the plan is to do the entire outline on sunday. images and, if it still ends up being the plan, quotes.
      ZERO color this session.

  62. Oooh! Hooray! I will be at work Sunday and out of contact with the twitterverse, but I look forward to hearing all about when I get home.

  63. Thx for the background MizFit! Now I understand why you write your posts the way you do…. it is making sense now! It is not just my aging brain! Now, what will you do when you are my age!!!!????

  66. Still resisting Twitter, but will hope for a later recap of events. Kind of like the ‘100 days of Obama’ slide show circulating the internet.

    Have a wonderful tattoo weekend!

  70. I can’t wait for the first tweet (twit) of “eeeyooowwwwww”. I wish I were there to transcribe your grimace.
    Have a great tat.

  75. Looking forward to tomorrow to see! I have to resist the temptation of Twitter for now because I’m weaning myself from my Facebook addiction FIRST.
