He asked me to share why i have "body art," or in my language, why i'm inked. His statement, "at some point in your life you had no body art...to me..back then you were pristine...the rest is just stories of drunkenness or poor decision making skills"
i was not drunk when i decided or received the three tattoos. i also thought about each one for years before doing so.
the first, a Winnie-the Pooh dancing on a <>< symbol, which reps God's dancefloor in heaven. Pooh Bear reps "all God's children," if in fact we are His [and He truly exist]. so basically, heaven is a time to be kids and party!
the second tattoo i received is that of my soon to be 20 year year old son. the picture is him at two years old. why did i do it? i gave up my son when he was born. i had no chance of raising him on my own. anyway, my tattoo shows the love i have for him....
my last tattoo is a Bible verse, ecls. 3:4 "....a time to grieve and a time to dance." this choice as a tattoo developed in two ways...
one, i love dancing, a beautiful artform. being disabled, dancing is limited for me but i still try! and two, grieving takes place daily on earth, there is always sadness. but maybe one day - i can hope, yes? overall, there is a time for all things to take place and they will in the way they should.
