Today I did the unexpected...

I am like some of the other posters...I consider myself "anti tattoo" but I really, really like yours and the sentiment behind it. It's beautiful and simple. I hope it makes you smile every time you look at it.

That is so sweet, and so meaningful to you!! What a neat idea!!

I would love to get a small tatoo, but I'm just too chicken to do it.

That is an awesome idea!!! My mom died when I was 16 and I have been trying to come up with a meaningful tattoo for the past 14 years! I have 1 note in her handwriting that she wrote to me and I am seriously thinking of doing this. Wow, great idea! Love it

DH has our children's names written in their scratchy just learning writing. He didn't get the idea until dd had already been writing her name for a while so it had become neater. We had them take her name from a preschool paper. DS was just learning to write his name so he wrote directly on dh with a sharpie. DH also has our last name on his arm with both children's first name, middle name and their birthdays.

How wonderful! I love the idea of getting something in the handwritting of someone you love.
I have a wrist tattoo as well, it says "strength" and has the outline of the Tetons above it. It is very personal to me as well.

I am pretty much "anti-tattoo" also but I love yours! It is so sweet. I don't think I'll ever get one - but I could see myself doing that.

beautiful.
i don't post often, but i've read several of your posts about your mom. i'm sure this tattoo will comfort you no matter what you face... having a bit of your mom with you. i'd never seen anyone get a tattoo in someone's handwriting before and i adore the idea! even more precious since your mom's not a card person... and the art of letter writing has all but disappeared in this day and age.

i'd love to get a tattoo in the exact same spot, but my husband would have a fit. i've never cared for them either, but the past 2 years, i've really wanted one.


and to those afraid of needles - i encourage you to go to a tattoo parlor and ask to see the "needle". a friend does tattoos and was doing one when i was in his shop. i asked if i could watch (the person being tattooed was also a friend), and it's not nearly as scary as it sounds. it's very small, and moves quickly. i had a huge fear of needles, but this wasn't scary. not a bed of roses, but i didn't pass out.
