I had a friend once who got a tattoo when she turned 30....she called it a mid-life crisis! Three of my best friends (Kelly, Holly and Amber) all have tattoos, Tim has tattoos, Becky has a tattoo. I've been thinking a lot about getting one. I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons....I know that it's something permanent, it'll be with me forever. I've been trying to imagine what it will be like having a tattoo when I'm 80. Kelly's mom said, "When you're old and in a nursing home, everyone will make fun of you". In reality, most of the residents our age will probably have tattoos, too. Anyway, I can't think of any compelling reasons TO get one...except that I just want one.
Kelly says that "Tattoos aren't just for inmates and sailors anymore..." If I do get one, it'll be something feminine and pretty. Of course, when Keira comes to me asking for permission to get a tattoo, I won't be able to tell her she can't....oh well, I'll just have to choose my battles.
