Ink

2007-04-18

Well, I did it.  I went yesterday and got a tattoo around each wrist.  I think they turned out beautiful.  Feminine and personally meaningful and right.  I love them.  I was a little nervous about getting them around my wrists because the weather is getting warmer and they'll be visible right away, but I've never wanted to hide the ones around my ankles because I put careful thought into them as well, so why should these be any different?  I'm sure I'll hear a lot of comments - especially at church, but I did them for me, so I think I can handle whatever I'll hear.  Mostly what I've heard about the ones that I have now is that people like them.  Even the older people who seem like they'd be more condemning have made positive comments.  In fact, some have said they wished they'd had the courage to get them when they were younger.  I feel fortunate that the stigma is slowly fading and I'm living in a time where I don't have to hide for fear of total rejection.  I'm not sure it would've been a deterrent anyway, but it's still nice.  Maybe I'll get ambitious and figure out how to post pictures so I can show them off.

I have a "W" on each of my butt checks and when I bend over it spells WOW! If I stand on my head it spells MOM! ;)

I don't think that having tattoo make you any less of a God fearing person.

I never got any because in the OT it says we shouldn't mark our skin..whether that still holds true I dunno!!
