While in NYC I had the chance to spend some "quality time" with my sister. So what's more fun than getting a cool new cut and some new ink? Nada... that's what!

First stop - Graceland Brooklyn - cool new hair and tattoo shop in hip Williamsburg.




 
 

 
My stylist, Josh,  is amazing. We were in a big rush but he cut my huge amount of way too long hair and styled it into a rock-ish layered 'do, almost as we ran out of the door. Love him and love Graceland. Thanks Josh!



Next stop - East Side Ink - the best tattoo studio in NY, of which my sister is co-owner.
My artist was Needles and he did an amazing job. For my first tattoo I chose a peonies. They grow in my sister's New York backyard garden, they are beautiful and will always remind me of her and the wonderful time we had in her new home.

    
My inspiration flower and my sister, Yadira, sipping an iced coffee at East Side Ink.

    
While there I got to meet some very nice and very interesting people.
Sweety's facial hair was very impressive indeed... very sauve and devil may care.
And I also got to see some old friends, like CJ who I had not seen in almost six years.
Congrats on the baby's b-day CJ and Patty!
   
      
Needles' drawing was lovely and I love the result. The photo was taken with a phone so pardon the quality. And, in case you are wondering... it's on my ribs. Thanks everyone!
