I dug out the new tablet and set it up and had Bella take a picture of the tattoo on my back so I had something to go by and I gave her the other tablet and laptop to send the pictures of the design of the other designs of the other tattoos on to that tablet for me.
I went ahead and gave her pain meds. Just in case. I went into focus mode.
I think I did hers with a little more detail to it than mine had on it. I think because I was actually doing it and not someone else.
I even added a little something different to it to set it apart from mine but it also meant it would join us together and I was going to have Bella add this detail to mine too.
I sat up and looked at my finished work and took a picture of it and laid a towel on the bed and carefully turned Bella on her stomach and I covered her lower half with a blanket.
I handed her the tablet and showed her and grabbed the one she just had.
"You need to add those details to mine. It means we are connected and joined together now." I explained to her.
"Really like this. But don't I have to be in my wheelchair to do this honey?" She asked me as I started the one above her heart.
"Yeah, you do baby! I'll find something to sit on. Ohh I got something perfect to lay down on and you can move your wheelchair around it perfectly." I explained to her.
I knew actually what I was going to put on her stomach area to mark my territory as she put it.
I saw the ones for our biceps I knew what they meant for us and our position as captain but mine was different.
It kind of told a story of how I met Bella but it was so different. It didn't show us though and I looked at hers and it was the same.
No one would know. We would though! They would think it's because of my work and the love of water and hers is slightly different.
I couldn't believe she was laying half naked and so beautiful in front of me and she was letting me do this to her and she was so calm about it too.
I started working on the one on half of her right of her stomach.
The tattoo on her back covered her scars which I was surprised about.
I was so focused and went into more detail and put colorful detail into this one tattoo.
This one was the most special one for her and like she said was marking my territory so I was in my own way.

I imaged the scene of the night we were walking to camp the night we got remarried. I knew I couldn't make it like a photograph but I wanted to make it look like like it was magical and beautiful and it was working and it was turning out better than I could ever imagine it would be.
