I love tattoos and don't see anything wrong with them if that's what you like. I myself have 10 and don't regret getting them at all. Naturally, as you get older they wither along with your skin, but that's something that you have to learn to live with. Tattoos are permanent and wrinkling is inevitable. I have one of my chihuahua, Killer (black/tan), who died on July 9, 1994 and it's very special to me. I sent his photo to my tattoo artist and he did a black/gray portrait of him on my forearm. I had this dog for 18 years of my life and what better way to remember him by than a portrait of my best friend. Two months after my dog died, I found a chocolate chihuahua, Choco, who has now been with me for 12 years and I have his name and my cat's paw prints tattooed in the form of a bracelet with hearts. I also have a tribal sun on my back with my husband's name. On my other forearm I have a dragon with butterfly wings and on my ankle I have a cute stick person and a stick dog underneath a stick sun, which I tell people is me and my dog walking under the sun. Granted, people are going to get the wrong impression when they see anyone with tattoos. That's just the way it is in our society, but they have to get passed that and get to know the person inside. I've covered my tats and let people get to know the real me and then I show them my tats...then they freak out!Tattoos aren't for everyone, but I see them as body art and not ugly at all.
My next one is going to be a portrait of my Dad, who passed on December 16, 2000. He was the best guy ever. He taught me everything I know about farm work. I really miss that 'ol man a lot.
