Whatcha Think: Tattoos

Growing up I was a bit of a rebel. So to make it this far in my life without ever getting “inked” is pretty surprising to me. There were definitely times I could have been talked into it. I remember seriously considering it one time in college. But for some reason, I never took the plunge. And I don’t recall many of my friends going through with it either.

As I think back – on the years between college and kids – I don’t think I knew one person who had a tattoo. Either I never paid attention, or tattoos were just not as prevalent then (mid-to-late ’90s). Yet today, I feel I’m in the minority without a tattoo. I now know several friends who have them. Wherever I go, I bump into at least one other person with a tattoo. More than ever before, I see moms and dads (of all ages) with tattoos. And not just one tattoo…but arms, legs and torsos full of them.

Since I am definitely not in the “know” on tattoos, I thought it would be interesting to open this topic up for conversation. Whether you’re a fan or a critic, or you fall somewhere in between, we’d love to get your opinion!
