Tattoos

I want a tattoo. I have thought about one for years, but I could never really figure out what I wanted. For a long time, I thought about some sort of rose(after all, we wrote a song called Rose Tattoo), then thoughts of a peace sign. At one point I thought about one of the yoga sutras. I think I may have reached a decision........ a lotus flower. I have a very strong affinity for the lotus.

The lore that is associated with it, I find fascinating, the design itself one of beauty and grace.

I think as far as body placement, either shoulder or upper arm, still thinking about that.

And when do I see this work of art taking place? when Rick and I finish our singer/songwriter

cd. It will be my celebration.

I know it may seem a bit strange to go all these years without a tattoo, and then decide to get one.

But, I think there are certain rites of passages that I never did, and that's ok, but this one represents a certain freedom for me. I need to do this for myself.

I have friends with tattoos and some of my friends will be appalled when I do this. It won't be the first time I have appalled someone or the last.

I know a lot of you got tattoos on a whim, but this is something that will be me with forever......I want beauty and symbolism, I want it to be worth the pain. The cd is coming along slowly, but rest assured when it is completed, you will know........hopefully you will hear.........and you will see.
