Tattoo

It’s a joke with my girls,
That I’ll get a tattoo,
When I’m seventy five,
And decide which to do!

I have all these rules,
About what I can get,
It has to have meaning,
So I'll have no regrets.

People say once you start,
You're unable to stop,
I just want one good one,
But tend to flip flop.

Should it honor my girls,
So be something of 3?
Or a nod to nature,
Like a flower or bee?

I've started an album,
Of inspiration,
Just 20 more years,
Of my fluctuation!

Maybe I'll get one,
And maybe I won't,
But for now I'll do these,
That come off with soap!

My daughter has real ones,
Some beautiful art,
But she does these with me,
She has a good heart!

        I have quite a few tattoos, and most hold a special meaning, honoring a family member. Tattoos are something that should be carefully considered, as they should carry a meaningful story or personal significance.
        There is nothing wrong with not getting any or taking years to decide the right one 👍🏻🤗
