What Influenced You To Get A Tattoo

I thought I would go in a different direction today, with my post. I think it is pretty safe to say that we all remember the instant that we decided we wanted to get a tattoo, of course some are a lot sooner than others. I for one had my mind made up when I was 8 years old, that when I turned 18, I was going to a tattoo no matter what. And you better believe I was at a tattoo parlor on my 18th birthday getting my first tattoo.

There is one person that I credit for me wanting to get a tattoo so bad and that is my cousin. When he was 18 he came and visited my family and I and he had just recently gotten a tattoo. I of course feel in love with it and had my heart set on getting one when I was of age. Of course I had to wait 10 long years before I myself could get inked but it was while worth the wait. However, in the mean time I had to settle for those temporary tattoos that all kids think are just the coolest thing in the world. I will admit that I would wear temporary tattoos up until I was 18 just to make sure that I really could deal with have a permit one. Of course you know I went through with it but my father wasn’t too pleased with my fresh ink. He has never approved of them and has never liked them. I think I probably should have waited until I was out of the house to get one because it made my dad so mad. My thinking was I have always been a great child and never done anything wrong or gotten in any trouble so this was my way of rebelling.

So I would love to hear from you readers on why you decided to get a tattoo.
