So my younger sister has multiple tattoos. She isn't head to toe, or anything but as far as I know she is up to 5 individual tats. Each is significant to her. I know she is itching to get more & keeps bugging me to go with her for one.
My issue isn't the pain involved, hey at this point I feel more like Dalton from Roadhouse "Pain don't hurt"... It's more the question of what do I want on me FOREVER? It'll be there when I'm 80 & hangin' with my grandkids. I'm not sure how I'd feel if I found out Grandma has ink... strange.
I really want to do something that encompasses me & my kiddos, the constants in my life! I thought a snowflake would be perfect, some how work the kids names into it & honor our winter births. Of course my sister thinks it's "lame". My concern is it being interpreted as I am a cold flake...
She drew a fabulous tree that has the Princess's name in the branches, my only problem with that is it's only 1 kid, I'd have to get 2, plus the normal person is only going to see the tree & wonder why I have a tree on my back. Not that I am putting it where anyone will be able to see it, just when I bend over or forget that the shirt I'm wearing rides up when I reach for the top shelf.
SO who has ink? Anyone answered this quandry for themselves? Any pros or cons? Quick before she drags me kicking & screamin' "wait I don't have a plan yet...."

To ink or not to ink, that is my question...

2 Fantastic people left feedback!:
I got a tattoo right before I turned 30. The only two issues I have with it are: (1) I did my own design, and I wasn't really sure how it should have been executed, so it looks a little sloppy. Should have done a little more planning on that, and (2) I wanted to put it in a place where my mom would not see it (I'm grown, but I don't want to throw it in her face either) - even though I know my daughter will out me eventually! But it's mine and it's for me to see and share with whom I choose, not the general public. There are those who will judge you for it. All that said, I don't regret it at all, and I rather like looking down and seeing it. It's a form of expression and it feels good to leave a mark on yourself, like getting your ears (or other things!) pierced, or whatever. Have fun - if you do it with your sister, it's a great bonding experience (I went with 3 friends, myself).
I have one tattoo and was planning on getting a second before I got knocked up again. I will probably wait now and do one large family piece instead of lots of small pieces for each of my children. Mostly a quality tattoo should be expensive and I can't justify that type of cost on multiple occasions.
