COLLEGE UPDATE- WEEK 3
“Hello Dad? ”
“Hi! How are you doing?”
“Guess what? I got a new tattoo!”
“What? I thought you said you were stopping at TWO?”
Her roommate: “She likes odd numbers”

Great post and picture. I like odd numbers as well. I have only one tattoo. Happy ATWT and take care.

As far as tattoos go, it’s fairly innocuous. And you know, it’s a peace symbol, how can you argue with that?

Too funny, my 12 yr old always says she has to have even numbers, but she assures me that she doesn’t ever want a tatoo, no wait, that changed the other week to “maybe a little one”! I’ve got a few years until that question should come up!
All of your daughters “tats” are tasteful!

Tatoo’s can be addicting. My husband has one from long ago (with several things that have been added over time) and still thinks about getting another and asks me from time to time what I think. I tell him it is his body, but I wouldn’t do it. It will only stretch and shrivel over time. He thinks I should get one. No way, I say. It will only stretch and shrivel over time. Not a pretty thought, lol.
I went through the piercing phase in my early 20s. Fortunately I stopped at two (well three cuz’ one had to be redone) and the scars are minimal. I wish I didn’t have the scar from the belly button pierce. But I don’t really regret it. I was young and it was “so cool!” Plus, I was proud of myself for going through with it despite the fear. Silly I guess, but part of growing up.

Ok, that one is quite cute! My daughter has 3 as well, although #3 overtook and swallowed #1.

Aaaaah, so this is what I have to look forward to in a few years. Could be worse – it’s tiny, sweet, and it’s all about peace. Now if it were a flaming skull…Who am I kidding? Flaming skulls would be cool too.

thanks for all the compliments

I think all her tattoos are well done. There are some scary ones out there like the lady we saw who had a name tattooed across the top of her left boob. Classy.

I have always wanted a tattoo. My aversion to pain is larger than my huevos. But I have seen some great ones. This little peace sign is pretty tame and kinda cute. I want a ladder on my inner thigh that also says “Stairway to Heaven.” Think I could get any dates that way?

Tattoos… so very addicting. I have five myself. I totally dig odd numbers, but whose to say three or five is enough? Love her cute and dainty peace sign.
