I have been wanting, for many years, to get a tattoo.  It’s tough to actually commit to something that will last a lifetime on you skin.  I knew I wanted something to represent my kids, but I didn’t want birds or cartoon characters.  I really liked the idea of the footprints.
So, off I went, just 3 days before my 41st birthday. and got my first ink.  It wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be, it was really more annoying and like being scratched repeatedly for 40 minutes. As the work got closer to my wrist, the feeling changed to more of a cutting.  Not fun, but I’m so happy with the end result!
There may be another in my future….
