Omg, y'all, guess what I just did? I re-pierced my left ear, all by myself! I got a second hole pierced in my left ear, oh, maybe 15 years ago (the right ear still only has one), but then I had to be proper around my kids' friends' moms so I quit putting earrings in it and it closed up. But I just un-closed it with a big ol' hoop earring, and it looks awesome if I do say so myself.

Can tattoos be far behind? ;)

Seriously, what tattoo should I get and where should I get it? I'll get it in New Orleans and call it research for a fic I started long ago and never finished.

a tattoo is very personal, it should come from you.

Good advice. I just can't think *what* I'd want to add permanently to my body, you know? My kid outdid himself when he got his tattoos, "love" on the inside of one wrist and "compassion" on the other, right where he can see them when he plays his guitar. Now THOSE are the kind of tattoos that I adore and want for myself. But I can't copy my kid, so...what?

I like the idea of putting one on the back of my neck, where it'd be hidden by my hair most of the time. It'd be a little secret thing just for me, unless I got wild and crazy sometime and shaved my head, lol! I LOVE the idea of putting one between the shoulder blades, too...le sexy!!! :D

yes, back of the neck is a very good place, IMHO, you show it when you want :)

well, as great as they are (and I love the idea) your kid is not the first person to have words inked on him. you would not be copying him if you got your own, depending what and where. but if you don't know what you want, be careful or wait a little more until you find it. you have to be very sure you'll still want the tattoo in 10 years or more!
