Would you donate to this crazy idea?

So, here's the deal...I've been thinking about trying to get people to 'donate' money to a great cause on facebook or on a website, etc.  Let me know what you think and if you would indeed donate a few dollars to this...

 

There's this girl I know who used to be married to a tattoo artist.  At that time he and she planned out so many wonderful tattoos that would have covered her body in such a glorious array of black & white, color, etc.  Beautiful birds, sweet goblins, monarch butterflies to represent her grandmother, cherry blossoms, fish, bright orange tiger lilies (her favorite flowers), and so many other things.  Things she could be proud of.

Her husband, Jason Caporosso was an amazing tattoo artist.  Professional and extremely artistic.  He was a natural.  But he had problems and he killed himself.  She would have preferred to have him finish them himself but she would at least like to get the rest of them done as a memorial to him.

Obviously this story is about me.  I won't pretend to go any further with that he/she metaphor.  I've gotten a few tattoos since his death but they're so expensive and they just don't mean as much.  

However, as time passes and I think about those tattoos more and more; I find myself wanted them badly.  Now that I have an 8 year old son there are new tattoos I have to get as well.  For example; my weird little boy loves crabs.  To eat and to have as pets.  He wants me to get a really colorful one with his name on it.  I also want to get his thumbprint, my thumbprint and his daddy's, all together in a clover shape.  

The cost is...discouraging to say the least.  

But I've seen those facebook sites of half naked women with a few tattoos, showing off.  And I can't help but think that maybe if I put some 'sexy' pictures of my tattoos online...maybe I can get people to donate a few bucks to help me out.  Then I can post pictures of each new tattoo I get so people can see how important they can be when it comes to healing and family.   And how meaningful they can be.  

I'm 36 years old and I'm not all that sexy.  Really.  So my motives are not to attract young men or show off my mega sexy 36 year old tush.  That wouldn't work.  I know there's a legal way to have people give money as long as you use all of it for what you say you'll use it for.  

I wonder if anyone would be interested.  

I also need some help deciding where to go.  I've checked out Atomic Tattoos here in Pflugerville, Texas.  They seem okay.  But boy have prices gone up since 1999!  They said they would sit down with me and work out a full plan of how many tattoos I want to get and maybe go by the hour.

Please comment and let me know what you think.

I'll post some pictures of my own tattoos as soon as I can get my boyfriend to take a few pics of them.  Maybe my huge deficit will make you feel sorry for me.

Thanks
