My daughter kept track of each sale, keeping count and letting me know that it was the 5th sale or the 10th and so on. Early on she'd joked that after I made my 15th sale, we were going to have to go get tattoos together. Well, after writing for years, 15 sales seemed like a distant goal, maybe never even attainable. Guess which contract I just signed. Yep... See Me, my erotic short for Samhain, was my 15th sale.
So this past Thursday, my daughter and I went to Wild Side Tattoo and Piercing. Everyone there was great and when they found out I was a tattoo virgin, they did all they could to make sure my first experience was a good one. I explained what I had in mind and they drew up the perfect design. I was pretty nervous, even though I was excited. I had no idea how I was going to react to the pain, but I was pretty proud of myself. I spent over an hour in the chair and walked out with this beautiful celebration.
If you can't tell from the photo, there are 15 hearts to signify my 15 romance sales. With any luck, I'll be adding some more little hearts in the future...

Congratulations on your 15th book.
Very nice tattoo!
Congratulations on your 15th book! And that's wonderful that your daughter is keeping track. My son and daughter keep asking--now how many does that make that you've sold??? Like you, I had lots of mss written before I actually sold.
Congrats on #15. Your tattoo is gorgeous!
Congrats on your 15th book! May you have many more great releases. :D

Oooh, I love this! I have toyed with the idea of a tattoo for years but haven't found something I wanted forever. This is beautiful and meaningful! Congratulations on your 15th sale!

Georgeous tattoo! And congratulations on your 15th sale!
Beautiful tattoo, Natasha!! And huge congratulations!!
Your tattoo is gorgeous- and I just love when the artist knows you're an ink virgin. My first tatoo, when he found out he would be my 'first', he got all excited. "A virgin?! I love sacrificing virgins!"
I don't think my first lover was that thrilled over my virgin status as my tattoo guy was LOL
Wow! Major congrats, and great tattoo. I'm sitting here with a huge grin on my face - I can't believe you did that!
Congratulations on the tat and the 15th! The tattoo really turned out pretty. It's lovely!

Hey, Cai! It's amazing to me how many people have tattoos now. It's not a big deal any more (as I try to tell my hubby lol)
