To Tattoo or Not to Tattoo? That is the question!


I absolutely love this show!! I think their work is so cool and love hearing peoples stories.
But...over the years of this constant growing trend of using the human body as a canvas (as my husband puts it) it has also been on my radar. Although I'm not into full sleeves, half sleeves, full backs of anything crazy, there is something that I find cool, beautiful and meaningful on different people. I think it is crazy that people are very free and tattoo whatever on their bodies just cause they are bored, and I'm not to sure about the people that their bodies are like 89% cover with tattoos. But I do think the odd one maybe a couple on a person looks fantastic. But there is so many factors to consider and these factors have not all lined up perfect in my head yet.... but I am so close!
My Husband has two tattoo's and would have PLENTY more if I wasn't around! So not only is he wanted more tat's himself he is trying to get me to step one more step closer to the edge. So what are the factors in making a choice like this...
1)What will it be?
I have it narrowed down to a crown, or princess / daughter of the King in Hebrew
2) Why?
Well I do think they are awesome when they mean something and one of the turning points in my life and why I believe I can walk so confidently today in who I am is because I have an understanding of my heavenly Fathers love for me and who I am in Him. This took time but when I really understood it, it was huge break though in my life and I am so thankful for that. So because I have a true understanding that I am royalty, and that God has chosen me I can walk in confidence which has released so much in my life. So I want something to remind me of that so that if the enemy trys to rob me of my self worth, confidence or self image again I have a reminder that I have already conquered this area before and God has placed me higher than enemy and I have the victory.
3) Where?
Well if I decide on something like a crown or another picture type deal I am leaning toward my upper middle back, but if it is a word I am thinking along my foot.

So whats holding me back?
1) Pain
2) Is this just a trendy thing to do, that I will hate later?
3) Will it look trashy?

so I don't know.... Do you have a tattoo? Why did you get it? Do you still love it? Where did you get it?

1. I have the best tattoo ever!
2. I got my Pumpkin in my pre-christian days to remind me of my youth when I get old.
3. YES, I still think it is the coolest thing ever!
4. It was done by Van

My tattoo was not very painful and was actually cool, I thought, to watch it be done. And you know I totally recommend getting one. but in my mind it should mean something and be an original peace.
