I love that story of your mother! Sounds like she was a rare type of woman! I don't think I would have any if that's how they still did them, haha!

How old is your daughter? I was actually the oldest out of my sisters when I got my first one. I waited all the way until 21, though looking back now I was still a baby then when I really think about it. I have no regrets on any of my pieces, so I am happy about that. I know plenty of people who aren't quite so happy with their early choices. Perhaps because my parents were so open about it and had their own body art it made me understand more how real it is when you commit to engraving something into your skin for a lifetime!

Though I'm not too worried about what mine will look like later on, it is a real consideration that you definitely don't want to take lightly. So good for you mama for making sure your daughter does think about it!

Thanks for popping in, and I'm glad you enjoyed my story! Perhaps some time soon I'll share some of the others that I have. :)
