Tattoos!

Fri Oct 06 19:55:16 EDT 2006
A few years ago, I went with a group of friends to a tattoo parlor.
One of us wound up with a Chinese character for "lucky" on her hip.
She loved it then and loves it now.

My good friend and neighbor has hearts on her hip that she got in
college. My friend Karen just got a butterfly on her ankle.

Most of my other friends want tattoos. One on the small of her back,
one covering her back. These are not bikers. These are suburban
mothers in their 30s and 40s.

What do you think readers? To tattoo or not? If so, where on the body?
How big? Hidden or not? And how to decide what symbol or picture
you'll love when you're 80? Do you even think that far ahead?

Let me know. I'm being encouraged to get one.
