Tattoo- You Either Love Them or Hate Them

Tattoo Time!

You either love them or hate them...

Do you know what time it is???  It's Tattoo Time!

I don't know about you but I am a lover of tattoos!

Something about the pain, the noise of the tattoo machine and the adrenaline that just pumps me up!

I can remember being younger and always wanting a tattoo.

My Grammy always said NO! But I knew once I was old enough I would be getting some fresh ink.

It is crazy to me to think about how the world has changed and how "socially acceptable" it is to have tattoos. 

Before the only people who really had them were those in the military, bike clubs or homemade prison tattoos. I know that sounds silly but its true. 

Now that we are in 2019 everyone (almost) has them. 

I am a huge fan of black tattoos, even though I do have one color piece.
People always ask- " what about when you are old? are you going to be happy you got them?"

Well Susan to answer your question.... YES! 

I look at tattoos as a piece of my life. Every tattoo I remember the time, the place and what I was wearing. I can remember my heart racing and sweaty hands. 

Each of my pieces mean something special or brings me a memory that I will cherish. 

Last month my friend Kelli and I decided to take a road trip to Salem, Ohio to get some ink. 

Kelli knew the artist and it was his first time doing any for me. 

Rudy did two tattoo's for me that day and all I can say is

I AM IN LOVE with them!!!

We first did an arrow on my forearm. To me it symbolizes growth and to always move forward no matter what life throws at you. 

The next tattoo I got was a black heart on my ring finger. 

Side note- that hurt like a bitch. 

Even though she is small .... boy was it mighty!!! 

This is honestly my favorite tattoo I have ( total 10 now)

To me it symbolizes to always let love in.

And a reminder that I am always loved.

So tell me about your favorite tattoo?

Do you love them or hate them???
