The other day I was loading groceries into the back of our SUV, when my daughter ever-so-helpfully closed the hatchback, not realizing that half of my body was still in the path of the descending door. As I grimaced in pain I said, "That's gonna bruise!" So I looked in the mirror to see how bad it was, and my tattoo actually camouflaged the purple and green haze I could just see at the top of my shoulder. I guess that's one advantage to being inked! So, then I started thinking of other great reasons to be tattooed, and here's a few I came up with:
- They're great conversation starters (Did that hurt? My sister's boyfriend's cousin's son does tattoos.)
- People assume you're tough (Don't mess with me, I have Hello Kitty tattooed on my ass!)
- They scare religious zealots (No point preaching to her, she's in the devil's hands now.)
- They attract adorable little kids (Did you get in trouble for drawing all over yourself like that?)
- They're permanent memorabilia (I got this one the day my ex told me he'd divorce me if I got another tattoo.)
Got another reason it's great being tattooed? Add your comments below! :)

It’s great ’cause it just is and I can’t come up with a better one right now. Ink is personal. It’s expressive. It’s fun as hell going thru the whole process of coming up with that design that will grace your body forever. God I do love it all !
because i have a piece of magic that no one else has, i’ve seen the disapproving looks and reveled in them;
because it means i’m a passionate person.
Cause the sea turtle I have tattooed on my shoulder in memorial of my Mom means she’ll always be looking over my shoulder to make sure I’m OK.
because it’s how i show to the world how great Jesus are…
