Surprisingly ppl don't even seem to notice the tattoo on my wrist, and it isn't a small one either. It is a part of me. If I were to be passed up on a job offer because of it I honestly wouldn't care because I wouldn't want an employer that highers me based off of my looks anyway. Although I do appreciate ppl who do not have any either. All of mine were thought about for a long time and have special meaning to me, even if it isn't easy to sum up their meanings in one or two sentences when ppl ask about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-69517634465727152202011-11-07T18:00:56.043-07:002011-11-07T18:00:56.043-07:00I have two or 5 depending on how you look at it.
...I have two or 5 depending on how you look at it.<br /><br />On my back I have love, life, family, honor on my back in Chinese characters.<br /><br />On the inside of my left calf I have a turtle with 26.2 in one fin and 70.3 in the other. The shell has a star at the top half and the bottom half will have 140.6.<br /><br />I'm also planning on getting another tattoo after vegas. Can't wait to start the process because I am planning on getting a nautical star inside of a circle on my shoulder. From there I will have a sleeve built out that will take years to do I'm sure.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-58974468143869487512011-11-07T15:03:58.568-07:002011-11-07T15:03:58.568-07:00I have one tattoo on my right foot.

When I think about that it was going to be, while it was really important at the time, it is not anymore. It is not embarrassing, but just lost its importance/relevance in my life. I was a gymnast, and so it was going to be a gymnast leaping through a block O. I am proud that I was an OSU gymnast, I just don't know that I need it imprinted on my body forever. My husband hates OSU, so I would hate it if it came between us. <br /><br />I have thought about the M dot.

We saw a young woman in a tank top with A LOT of tattoos. My daughter, in the type of projection voice that only 3 year olds have, said, "OH NO, Mommy!!

It's a pattern of shooting stars and you can't see it unless I'm wearing a strappy tank top or similar. The original design is the exact design on my best friend's grave stone (killed in a car accident our jr year of high school) and I've added a smaller star around it for every important person in my life I've lost (my grandparents, my great-grandma, another friend). People sometimes see it and think it's just another random girly tattoo, and I don't mind. If they ask about it, I tell them the truth.

I don't regret any of them (even the ugly one), they are all small, and can all be covered by clothes easily (although the wrist one is harder to cover than the rest.)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942477087576739697noreply@blogger.com
