Tattoo: permanent reminder of temporary feelings.



Backstory

... until today, when I began the process of having it removed from my shoulder. It's my cat, a gift from a good friend (both the real one and the tattoo) 20 years ago. The cat has been dead nearly 10 years now. Bye, bye kitty!

This is so true and very timely with all the kids stopping by the site lately. Kids, think twice, a tattoo is pretty much FOREVER.

Tattoos don't look once you grow old. Think twice.

Thanks! The good news? It wasn't as painful as I expected (or they warned) in the first session. Bad news? It is about 10 times more expensive to remove a tattoo than to get one. Ouch!
