I can say this without a tra...Grow up? Nah, never!<br /><br />I can say this without a trace of scarcasm: It's really great yours has worked out. Your twenty-two-year-old predecessor was doubtless more mature than mine. <br /><br />Perspectives shift over time, but may it always be a souce of positive feelings for you. :)brenda cox giguerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566513024203327058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954966970919940686.post-24001246923350078162010-05-17T22:57:40.792-07:002010-05-17T22:57:40.792-07:00I was twenty-two, two-and-a-half months shy of twe...I was twenty-two, two-and-a-half months shy of twenty-three, and still the tattooist asked me what I was going to be when I grew up and if I was sure I wanted to be inked in as public a place as my forearm. At eighteen, I was mature enough to know I was too immature for a tattoo. At twenty-two, I thought myself mature enough. At thirty, I endorse the judgment of my twenty-two-year-old predecessor.Mike Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111303530050272684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954966970919940686.post-55695412384933522112010-05-14T10:26:05.395-07:002010-05-14T10:26:05.395-07:00HI, and thanks for the great comments, Larissa! Yo...HI, and thanks for the great comments, Larissa! You touched on something I didn't say in the context of the humor of the piece- that is, the arguable merit in having a tattoo that helps mark the passage of time like that. I'm glad yours makes you smile & remember, which means it's likely your newer ones will do the same thing for you, in the future. :)brenda cox giguerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566513024203327058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954966970919940686.post-68210840815217432772010-05-14T10:19:38.089-07:002010-05-14T10:19:38.089-07:00LOL!

Now, I get more questions on it "Is that the state of Texas"? And I have to reply and say no, it is a heart shaped ivy vine w/ a rose at the end; the tattoo represents life and love. <br /><br />Today would i get the same tattoo? No. Do I regret it? No. It was a part of my life that tells a story. It is small enough not to be ugly. I can say though for a brain-dead teenager, that at least I strategized where to place it (in a location it can be seen while working out, on the beach, etc, but not visible for work attire, and not in a location where it would stretch if I was to get pregnant - stomach, butt, boobs).<br /><br />I now have 2 more tattoos, one representing my husband and one representing my love for the marathon. Both are small and in a discreet location.Nordic Moxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548241363134735893noreply@blogger.com
