To Tat, or Not to Tat...

As you may remember, several years ago my sisters and I decided (to my mother's horror) to get our noses pierced. I loved it and believe it or not, so did my mom. However, after ripping if out of my nose for the second time, I finally decided it just wasn't meant to be.

I saw a saying on the Internet the other day that I really liked. It was "I fight like a girl". Well, I'm hoping my fight is over and decided I wanted a t-shirt that said "I fought like a girl..." and had my sister Linda do something on her computer. I love it! But, before I had even gotten back what I asked her to do, I wondered to myself, "wouldn't this be an awesome tattoo?" I love the raggedness of the ribbon (symbolizing the harshness of breast cancer), and the single pink (signifying grace and elegance - ok, that's SO not me!) long-stemmed rose (signifying “I will remember you always”).



Something small, Linda thinks on my wrist. Maybe I need to travel down to Kat from the show LA Ink! Am I brave enough to do it? I don't know yet. Anyone want to join me? Sheri, what's the color of ribbon for your kind of cancer? We could change it and you could do one too! Why is it that I feel the need to have someone else join me in the pain I might experience?

What do you think? I want your honest opinion. Tattoo or no tattoo?
