 | My Tattoo Story by Jen M. When I was young, and 'in love,' I made the mistake of getting matching tattoos with my special someone. Well, it was not only the most hideous design (the likes of which I won't burden your mind's eye picturing,) but shortly after we, of course, broke up. |
...today's lasers can't remove green ink!
Left with only an ugly reminder on my leg of a horrible doomed relationship, I saved up the money to have it removed, only to be informed that today's lasers can't remove green ink! What to do!?
Well it was cover up time!
Learning my lesson about picking a design that is trendy or 'of the moment' this time I chose wiser and choose something timeless and meaningful to me. JRR Tolkien's writing has been a part of my life since childhood, and the quote, “not all those who wander are lost,” is a particular inspiration to me. So, utilizing the compass and Tolkien's mark and quote, I had the old ugly tattoo buried in the past under new, meaningful ink.
So my advice to you, fellow Geek Girls is, get a tattoo that is something you'll still love when you are 80. Something timeless, something just for you - or if not, at least don't get something green!
