Tattoo Debate

I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for a few months now. I used to be totally against them, but now I think they're pretty cool. One of my tweets says "Back to thinking about getting a tattoo..." The people that have had a most questions and comments about it is my family and, don't get me wrong, I do respect their opinions.

The tattoo I want would look similar to this picture and be in the same place, but it would say, "Blessed Be Your Name". It is the title of one of my favorite songs that we sing a lot in church. Its reminds me that even when things are going to horribly wrong, we need to continue to praise God. So it would be a visible, constant reminder to me to praise Him at all times, no matter what is going on in life.

Here are my pros and cons to getting a tattoo:

Cons:

• It will hurt like crazy
• What if it looks like one big black blog when I'm older?
• It costs quite a bit of money

Pros:

• I like the way it looks
• I'm still young, so why not live it up?
• It's a phrase I need to be reminded of everyday
• I'll have a story to tell my grandchildren!
