My Tattoo

I saw this prompt at Mama Kat's writer workshop...and I just knew what I was going to write about!

4.) The world is going to come to an end unless you get a tattoo that covers your entire back. Describe the tattoo you’ll get.


I have wanted a tattoo for a while!  I've been kinda planning it out since college.  I want a cross with the words faith, hope, love and grace around it.  I want a heart on the cross and a crown of thorns.  So...I sat down and used auto-shapes to draw out a crude rendition of a tattoo that I want.  Well...I'm not sure I would want it on my whole back...but if the world was ending ... go for it!


Andrew said I could make the cross prettier.  He's right ... considering I used auto-shapes on word to draw it!  So the place that I would want it would be on the inside of my wrist, but I want to be a teacher and I'm pretty sure that is not cool to have showing tattoos.  Maybe I could wear a bracelet or a watch so its not quite as noticeable?
Well...what do yall think?  I want opinions here!!!!  You know...with a prettier cross and all :-).  Do you think I should hide it somewhere else?  If so...where?  I'm not too keen about the small of my back, or my ankle.  And then I had so much fun making a tattoo, so I designed my own blog background and template!  Yay for learning new talents :-)

  1. I love it!!!! I love your new blog look by the way, it is new right or am I crazy? No matter what I am probably crazy! Anyways, I like it on the wrist but if you are worried about the teaching aspect you could do the ankle/leg area.

  2. Love the new blog look! And I have to say, I don't think the wrist would be a problem especially since it's not in the least bit inappropriate! I've toyed with the idea of a tattoo as well, but always come to the conclusion that I'm chicken-sh*t and afraid of needles, so it'll probably never happen! But, the point of that info you didn't ask for, is that I thought of possible locations, and my favorite was the right shoulder area-maybe just above the bottom of the shoulderblade.

  3. Ohhhh look at your header! It's beautiful! And that is an awesome tattoo design, I have one on the inside of my foot and I love it because I plan on working in a school and no one can see it when I wear the right shoes/pants but if I wear flip flops I can show it off!

    I have a giveaway on my first ever vlog, I would love for you to come by and check it out!

  4. No one every notices mine under my watch :) And, actually, the other day my watch died and people just thought it was a braclette.

  5. I've got a tattoo on my right shoulder blade - it's super easy to hide for work if you're concerned about that. Love your tattoo!

  7. I really like the idea it seems like you have been planning it for awhile the only thing is I would not get it on your wrist you can not hide it very well. I have 2 and one is on my foot and the other on my back on my shoulder blade and I love where I got them cause I can hide them so easily. So I wouold go with a different spot but the idea is great!

  8. Your blog looks great! As for your tattoo, I think you could still put it on your wrist. You'd just have to wear long sleeves during the school year.
