Just some thoughts upon seeing a woman's tatoo today. She leaned across a counter and her top slipped up showing her lower back where the words "Sweet Thang" were scrawled across it. She had various other tatoos as well and honestly was a very well put together, attractive woman, albeit a bit immodest in her clothing choices. :)
Now. I am going to just tell you exactly what popped in my head. Ready for honesty on a touchy subject? Here goes.
Ok, I'm not really going to say anything about the right or wrong aspects of tatoos. Sorry, fooled you, right? :)
No, actually the first thought that popped in my head was a picture of what she might look like as a little shriveled up 90 year old woman in the nursing home with that across her backside! Can't you just see the little woman in the hospital gown with the open back who always manages to escape? There she goes wandering down the road with her tatoo shining as the aides chase her down!
I always wonder about that! You know, what looks one way when you are say a certain age or look a certain way doesn't always maintain it's um, "staying power", ya know? Like the gorgeous, skinny tan 20 year old who gets a tatoo at the bikini line. Then 5 years down the road she gives birth to triplets and gains 75 pounds. That cute little butterfly tatoo is going to look like a buzzard!
No judgement here whatsoever! Just sayin!
I am crying laughing! I only say that becuase I am one of those women. My tatoo is on my ankle (oh and I do have a Jesus fish on my back to make up for the one on my ankle LOL). My dear dear friend Melissa loves to remind me of how it will look years from now when the sunflower is not so sunny. Oh course being a pastors wife, it is one of those things you kinda wish would disappear at times, but it is always a reminder of a really silly decision I made when I was 19 on the spur of the moment! Think before you ink!
ReplyDeleteShana,
ReplyDeleteLOL I had forgotten you had that! Our nephew has a large tatoo of his grandmother (The FisherMan's mother) on his shoulder blade. It was done from a picture and I have to tell you it is amazing but so eerie at the same time! Talk about looking real! I have to wonder what that would be like as a wife to see that on your hubby everyday ....hmmm. He said he was going to get another one of his mother on the other shoulder. He said that would make it complete since they both stayed on his back all the time! :)
To funny!
