Texas is turning a new shade of blue, and some people are making it permanent.

Democrat Gina Hinojosa, soon-to-be Texas' first Latina governor, and Democrat James Talarico winning a U.S. Senate seat, highlighted a historic Tuesday night in the state, and some Texans are marking the moment with permanent ink inspired by the state flower At the Twisted Tattoo, a family-owned tattoo shop, artist Kristen Gutierrez said requests for bluebonnet tattoos picked up after Election Day.

For some customers, the flower is more than a familiar symbol of Texas pride.
