To tattoo or not to tattoo?


Family Tree Tattoo
For a while now I have been toying with the idea of getting myself a tattoo. Every time I see someone brandishing some beautiful ink on their bodies, I always get a pang of envy and wonder when I’ll finally get round to doing it.

I’ve always had a love for beautiful art and tattoos are no exception but had an issue with the permanence of them. With the advancement in laser surgery and tattoo removals I’m assured of some form of escape in case I change my mind after the deed is done.

Finding the right artist for what I wanted has been another hurdle. I’m very picky and finding someone who is both imaginative and interpretive can be a tall order in our country and even more so in the small town I stay in. The artists I’ve come across are very capable of bringing whatever picture you present them to life on your skin but it’s the interpretation that turns it into art.

I’m the sappy and sentimental type therefore any tattoo of mine will have emotional and sentimental attachment. I’m not the type though that will tattoo a boyfriend’s name. With my track record, the odds that the tattoo will last longer are high. And I don’t want to find myself with Paul trying to explain why I have “Peter’s” tattooed on my ass!


 


I’ve decided that the perfect place will be behind my ear towards the back my neck.  The placing is private and discreet yet easily accessible. The hair might hide most of it but there will always be a nice surprise for anyone found wandering in the vicinity.  
The wilder part of me though looks at a tattoo like the one below and slightly yearns...


A word of caution to anyone considering getting one please be fully aware of the precautionary measures. Tattooing involves pricking the skin with a needle repeatedly. This draw blood which may contain infections or diseases therefore it’s important that you safeguard yourself! You can get more information here.

The era of the divorced and others.....?

In my age group I'm what you might call a unicorn... In my lifetime I've never been married nor had kids. Now don't expect me to update you on my age, look at the bio and do some arithmetic.... I digress. Back to what I was saying regarding being a unicorn. What makes me even more of a rarity is the fact I've been engaged a couple of times and decided to break them off, stories for another time! I've never wanted to have kids out of wedlock, for selfish reasons really.... I just did not want to end up raising a child alone! Raising kids is HARD work, marriage is HARD work and no wants to do either alone, I just never found anyone who understood this and was willing to make the commitment and stick to it no matter what! I'm old fashioned like that...and I also like a guy whose a gentleman. Mmmh...the bygone era of true gentleman. Lord this blog reads like a dating profile, not at all intended! Anyway last week I was chatting to a friend who was telling me that h...

That Grey Hair Moment

Image
Recently I have discovered that the hair in my pubic area is greying at a faster rate than the rest of my hair. Actually it’s the only place where I have grey hair! Now, imagine my surprise when trying to investigate this finding out that in general pubic hair is 12 years younger than your normal hair and for most people it takes a lot longer to start turning grey. Shock! What could this mean! I’m a woman in her early thirties who has been around the block a couple of times; actually I’m very well acquainted with the block. First thought that came to my mind was, am I the only person suffering from this phenomenon! So I go to my trusted friend Mr Google and type in “grey pubic hair”.  Ah ha! More than 2 million hits hooray I am not alone, there is safety in numbers! As I go through some of these sites trying to glean off some pearls of wisdom about my greying nether region. I am hit by the hilarity of frantic reaction that most women display when posting their co...
