To Tattoo or Not To Tattoo?

I have always been a fan of GOOD tattoos. I feel that they are wonderful pieces of art. I also feel that is a good why of showing the love you have for someone or something.

When people lose someone they have care for and loved for a long time. This I feel is a great way to express the love you have for someone.
I have wanted a tattoo for a while now but haven't set my mind on what to have. First I wanted a flower like the one shown below.

Artist unknown

Then after a few months I went off the idea. This made me think what a big decision it was to make. After all if you regret having a piecing you can take it out but once you get a tattoo it's there for life that is unless you choose to pay the price and go through the pain of having it removed but then it would all have just a was of money and time.


But then something horrible happen in my life. My loving Nan who I have always been very close to passed away very suddenly in April 2011.

My Nan

This was such a big shock after nearly 5 months without my dear Nan I was watching an episode of Miami Ink with my family I said it, "I want a Tattoo." My sister asked what I would get........
"D for Doreen" (my Nan's name)


My Nan had always been there for me and I wanted the evidence of how much I loved her for all to see.
So at last I was certain of what I wanted now come the next step actually getting the tattoo done.
Well for over a month now I have been drawing the tattoo I want to get.










Of course there are many different reasons why I haven't had the tattoo done, but at the end of the day we all have love for people that are no longer here and we remember them in different ways.
But what ever way you choose to remember them what is important is that you do.
