New Tattoo

I am getting a new Tattoo!!!

It's been YEARS since I got my last one. The thing is that when I got my first I felt like I really wanted another one right away- they say Tattoo's are addictive and I think somehow they are. So I waited, but I did get a second one and that one, now, I think is silly. Actually this 3rd one I am thinking of getting as a cover up to the 2nd, but I don't know that it will work.

Tattoo's I think are like decisions in your life. Sometimes you feel silly after you've chosen them, but what are you going to do what's done is done.

I decided to get this new tattoo as a tribute of sorts to the loss of my brothers, but I hadn't figured out what design to go with. I didn't want anything overt like their names. I wanted something beautiful and sudtle with a design that didn't scream out the meaning. In essence if I didn't share that it was a tribute to them- no one would know but me- and now you if your reading this. Then when my mom passed earlier this year I knew it will happen this year.

I've settled on the design: white birds soaring. I thought that would look good against my olive skin and flying birds give me the feeling of freedom and peace which I hope they are feeling now.
