Hey peeps!
The Orchard is doing a series right now called INKED that is focused on how to take relationships more than skin deep. You can check out mytatstory.com to read some powerful stories of people and their tattoos.
SO- I’ve been really wanting to get a tat for quite some time. I’ve been thinking that the INKED series could be a great opportunity to explore this possibility. The main problem I have with tats is that they are permanent- SO- you REALLY want to choose wisely when you decide to get one. I know that whatever I decide is going to be with me for a LONG time, so I’d better pick the right thing!
I’ve had a few ideas…
- I’ve seen some wedding ring tattoos that I REALLY like…at this point I am leaning this direction…
- something in greek or hebrew (some biblical word with meaning). My only fear here is the artist getting the lettering exactly right… especially in Hebrew a slight variation can render it a completely different letter. Wrong letter can lead to wrong meaning= not good!
- an interesting symbol from the ancient faith…
- a butterfly in the small of my back (Okay, that one was a joke!)
So, I thought I’d throw it out to you. I’m looking for an interesting idea for a tattoo. What do you think I should get? Could be color, or plain black/blue, whatever. Get creative. Respond here or send me an email and I’d love to hear your thoughts! And for those of you with tattoos, how painful is it? Will I cry? What’s the process AFTER you get the tat like?
Looking forward to your responses!
