Hi everyone, my name is Lori McBride, and I am 32 years old. I started getting my tattoos when I was 26 years old. Every piece of artwork that I have was done by my fiancée, Scott Ruch. Scott has been tattooing over 15 years, and I have been piercing for 5 years, and we own a tattoo shop called Forever Art Tattoos & Piercings in Hornell, NY. I often have people ask me if I regret having so many tattoos, and my answer is always "Of course not, they are a big part of my life"! I love being a walking billboard for my fiancée. My favorite animals are Big Cats, in case you couldn't tell that by looking at my tattoos!! I have always wanted to touch a tiger and I finally got to do that at AM-JAM 2004 (Tattoo Expo). It made my entire YEAR!!! The picture of Scott with the trophies; those are all the trophies that I won. My leg piece won 1st place for "Best Overall Tattooed Female" at Am-Jam 2003 and 2004. My back piece won 1st place at Am-Jam 2004, as well as Judge's Choice Award for all of my tattoos. More about me: I love riding my motorcycle with Scott. We both have our own bikes; he has a Harley and I have a 1400 Intruder. I just learned to ride a bike about a year ago and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I don't think I can ever go back to being a passenger after riding myself!!! I also love to hunt deer, fallow deer, black bear, wild boar, and more. I guess you could say that I am not your ordinary female!!!***contact: foreverart@verizon.net***
I got this tattoo because my mom has lived through breast cancer twice! I got this on my wrist so I can look at it everyday and think about my mom and how much I love her!!
