For those of who you don't know, I got my first tattoo the spring break before I turned 19. It says "Live, Laugh, Love" on my foot and I got it for my grandma. That was the saying that we all knew her by and I had adapted as my own (if you see my apartment, almost all the decorations consist of this saying).
People say that once you get a tattoo, you will just want more. I didn't think this was true, but now I do. You constantly become more aware of tattoos and think of things you would like to permanently mark on your body. I do believe that tattoos should have meaning to them and a personal rule is I have to want it for at LEAST 6 months before I actually go through with it. As soon as I got my foot tattoo, I fell in love. I loved the cursive used and everything about it. I wanted to get something that represented my faith, but I didn't want to get a cross. I began searching for different kinds of cursive and thinking of places that I could put it (being a future teacher, I don't want anything in an inappropriate place).
FINALLY...after TWO YEARS...I found the perfect cursive and went through with it. The week before spring break, I went into a tattoo shop that was recommended to me by a friend in Flagstaff, made an appointment, went back the next day and 25 minutes later I have a beautiful new tattoo! It is not completely finished...eventually I would like to add a trinity knot below it that will become a "never-ending faith" representation.
