Anyway, when my brother went away to college, things changed a little. My parents eased up and gave me a lot more freedom then he had. Looking back, I realize that it was because all of my friends were from church or the youth christian choir (Maranatha) that I was in. They were still Mom and Dad, just a lighter version.
At some point, my brother got an ear ring. I remember my Dad talking about ripping it. Mom was always thin lipped saying "Oh I can't believe you got that thing". That was it. The world didn't end. I never got one. I just never had a reason to. So life went on.
Fast forward many years, and my brother got a tattoo. He is a die hard Steelers fan, and got a tattoo about his favorite team. Ok, thats cool. When Mom and Dad found out, they didn't like it, but they didn't make a huge deal about it. So now, I think I want one.
However, mine would serve a greater purpose. I have always wanted a black cross on my shoulder. Not sure why. Now, I think I want to incorporate that into a medical alert tattoo on my right forearm. I want to know if any of you have done this. Do you like it? Would you do it again? What do you think?
I have a couple tattoo's. To talk to me, you would never guess that I would be the "tattoo type". Both are on my back; easy to cover for work etc... that was my rule. I have never wanted one that is visable... until now. I wan't a grey ribbon either on my foot or the back of my neck. I recently found one that I really like.
ReplyDeleteI think the one you are looking at is cool. I like the cross, but if it were on my body... I wouldnt use the cross as the T. I think I would use the cross and still write the full word. BUT... I'm a bit OCD with stuff like that, soooo ;)
Hi Brian! I have a quick question about raising awareness and was wondering if you could email me when you have a free moment. :) Thanks!! hvsj12 at gmail dot com :-)
