She thinks I’m going to chicken out of getting a tattoo. Her husband doesn’t think that we are serious. I think we’ll probably get our tattoos done on the small of our backs. At first we were going to get matching tattoos. Then we were thinking about half-in-half tattoos. (You know… to do the BFF thing) Since I have heard how painful it is to get a tattoo done I think we are better off picking a design that we are totally in love with and going with that one. I don’t know… what do you guys think? My BFF’s husband thinks that my BFF is having a mid-life crisis. Why do people assume that there is a mid-life crisis going on when two ladies in their late 30’s decide to get a tattoo together?

A long time ago (almost 20 years) Faith and I talked about getting a tattoo while we were sitting sipping sangria on a beach in Spain.
All these years later we finally went and got it done. American Tattoo here in Chicago is a great place (probably the best place) to get a tattoo if you are thinking about getting one done.
The guys that did the tattoo were great! We got to have them done at the same time. Yes, it hurt but it was well worth the pain. I would describe it as how you might feel if you stayed out in the sun too long.
You can probably see a bunch of different things if you look closely at the tattoo pic.
There’s a heart in the middle which stands for the love that we have for each other and the love that we have for our friendship. There are two swans which symbolizes each of us. There are two Christian fish which symbolizes faith in Christ. If you look at the entire tattoo you might even see some eyes as in a mardi gra mask.
I think it’s a pretty cool tattoo.
I think it’s pretty darn elegant.
I love it!
