The Problem with being a Mom with Tattoos....

Is that my kids are always drawing on themselves to make "tattoos". Check out Camryn's new ink! She was very proud of her new tattoo and had to show me immediately.

The girls always tell me what kinds of tattoo they want or ask me when they can get one. "When you are 18", I say. I really won't mind if they decide to do that. I just hate that by doing so they will probably be judged for it. Or maybe not, maybe by 2021 (when Avery will be 18) tattoos will be pretty common.

It seems weird to me really. To think that changing my outside appearance with something permanent (tattoos) or not so permanent (piercings) would change who I am as a person. I haven't had anyone say anything to my face about my tattoos or my nose piercing. But I don't really know what people might be thinking when they see me out with my kids. I can pretty much cover all of my tattoos up and no one would even know. But I didn't get them to cover them up. I want to show them off! They all mean something to me and they are a part of me. Funny, I didn't start this post to talk about this at all, but I guess it was on my mind. I think that's the cool thing about blogging.

Since we are on the topic of tattoos, I'll let you all know what I am planning next! Like insider information! My next tattoo is going to be the quote, "Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree", across the top of my back in really pretty flowy lettering. I'm going to get some more autumn leaves around it. I can't wait! I'm pretty much obsessed with the season!
