Connerys new toy

CONNERY

Connery came to me about a week ago and asked if foor his birthday could he have a tattoo gun. Naturally I laughed and said "NO, Silly what are you thinking" as the week went by I noticed how interested Connery was becomming in art of all kinds and that he was especially interested in tattoo art and how the tattooing field worked. I talked with him many times about how how old you have to be what the rules are when you can tattoo and many rules about it. We also took him over to the tattoo shop and he got to talk to a couple of the artists.
Well after a couple weeks he came again and asked me if he could get a tattoo machine that he had found on the internet that was full of everything he needed to try it and that even though he had only one arm he could do it. I questioned myself for many hours and then decided I would rather be the one to get it and help him understand a industry, and the importance of being an artist tattoo or otherwise. He has spent almost every waking moment learning this and having a blast. Im so proud of him it takes alot of concentration to do this and for those know my son know this is an awesome deal for him.

many people have commented on my desicion to do so and I want you all to know that as a mother I fully support my desicion in this and Connery and I have made rules and deals for him to have this, so please dont swash his imagination on this as its a great "THERAPUTIC" .
I will be posting his accomplishments on his art.
Love you all

We left at about 10:00 A.M. and began our trip down the road...it was pretty normal listening to music, hanging out talking about girl stuff and what a cool MOM they had...LOL but somewhere along the road the girls founf\d my white marker that I keep in my car for emergencies....hahahahahahaha they thought it was the coolest thing ever...
so on we went and I let them have there fun...but then in a twist to this unbenounced to us we were being followed and when I mean followed we were even being filmed....."COOOL" the girls start to yell "LOOK" they start to yell....as I am driving dow the freeway I look over to my left and there they are some men in a black SUV filming us holding up a phone number for us to call....OF COURSE WE ARE INTERESTED TO KNOW...so we call...Ashton "HI, who are you" SUV "Hi there, we are filming a documentery on comedy..we have just spent the last week in PC, UT Sundance film festical and we saw your car and loved it please stop and talk to us..."  Ashton  (SCREAMING) "They are fiming us OMG they are filming us where should we stop OMG" Mom "OK tell them we will stop at the welcome sign to Las Vegas.....We spent the next hour taling and filming and signing releasments...the girls even sang for them it was awesome
