Hi All~
I recently posted (and got a good response) about what my fellow tpfers thought about tattoos. There were a ton of diverse responses and they were all great!
Just as an update though, I have decided not to go through with getting the tattoo. If you remember, the tattoo was supposed to memorialize my grandmother who I lost two years ago. She was my best friend and I have just begun the healing process. I talked to my grandfather about what she really thought about tattoos and he said that it was one of her biggest fears that I would grow up and get some. My uncle (one of her sons) has a lot and they are really big and not very well done and she never liked them. Also, I was always her baby, I was the only grandchild for 14 years...
I decided for myself that I just didn't want to dissapoint her or anything. She was the best and she just didn't want me to ever make a mistake that he did...even though it would be for her, I just do not want to do that to her.
Thank you all again for your words of encouragement. My boyfriend said that he would draw it on for me if I really wanted one!! HeHe...we will probably have an art project sometime soon and I will let ya see pics...haha that would be funny!
