BADASS

I am a lover of tattoos.  I appreciate the meaning, I appreciate the artwork, I appreciate the courage of those who get them.  I've never had a desire to get one myself (I've never even had my ears pierced) but I certainly admire those who have them.  I especially think men with tattoos are attractive.  Chris has none and would never in a million years get one and I'm a bit saddened by that.  I'm not sure what I'd even want him to have.  He'd kinda look ridiculous with one anyway.  It's just not him.  He's never had a cavity or a speeding ticket even.  I don't think he's allowed by law to then have a tattoo, am I right?  

 My true dream man (aside from the one I married ) is him...

*DISCLAIMER - this post was written a month before we all found out he was a cheating asshole.

He's attractive to me in a hundred different ways but I just love the tattoos.  Is that weird?

So, back to the fact that I have never had the desire to get one myself.  I decided a long time ago that when my children entered kindergarten I wanted to get their handwriting tattooed somewhere on me.  I want to have their name, in their handwriting, someplace on me forever.  Chris thinks I'm cah-razy and thinks it's the dumbest idea ever.  I don't.  And I'm totally going to do it.  Drew is entering K in 6 months so I'm beginning to think it's time to start seeking out a place.  I emailed Nic at My Bottle's Up because I knew she'd have some great advice about how to find a good place and what to look for in a tattoo shop.  She's courageous in many ways and she wears them on her body for all to see!  I am not quite so courageous and my badass tattoos will be hidden.  These are for me, not for others.  

Here is what my badass tattoo will look like in 6 months:

Me with my virgin earlobes married to my squeaky clean husband sporting a hidden tattoo of my daughter's name in her own handwriting.  Don't ever say the Peters aren't B-A-D-A-S-S.
