Inked Up: Moms and Tattoos

January 9, 2013 by meandmeg Leave a Comment

I’ve spent the week trying to explain to my four year old why I have tattoos.

I have two.  Sometimes, because they’re both so amazing, I have trouble picking which one I like best. But at the end of the day, the tropical fish by my crotch is the winner.

Yes. I got a fish tattooed on my body and chose the middle of my hip flexor as the spot. It’s really ugly with bubbles coming out of it’s mouth. I was eighteen, I went with two friends, both of whom had something picked out ahead of time. I got to the parlour and buckled under the pressure, what the heck was I going to pick? So I picked a fish.

I think I might go and get “idiot” tattooed underneath it. Then people can stop asking me why I picked it.

The second one is a star on my foot. I’m okay with it-sometimes. Every now and then someone will say “Did you pick the star because each point is a member of your family”? Um, no. I did it on a whim on a date – completely random.

Anyway, here’s my conversation with my daughter about them:

Malone: Why do you have that permanent mark there? (Pointing to the fish.)

Me: I don’t know.

Malone: It’s permanent, that means it can’t come off, right mom?

Me: Yes.

Malone: Did you do that when you were a teenager or adult?

Me: Teenager, it was a mistake. I wish it wasn’t there.

Malone: Yeah, I think it’s stupid, I’m not going to get one, even when I’m a teenager.

Me: Good ‘Lones. Don’t do it.

Well, it looks like I have taught her another valuable lesson from a mistake I made. Imagine this with bubbles coming out of its mouth. Yes, it’s this bad.

Cheers, cheers

About meandmeg

Leigh and Meg are sisters with six kids between them. They love laughing, and dont care if you laugh at them or with them. They started their blog, Me & Meg, because they are excellent bad mothers, and want to brag about it.
 
Additionally, Meg cant remember anything as shes always partying and Leigh, well she has a pea size brain and cant retain much. Meg drives a van which is totally dodgy, while Leigh drives an SUV - so much better. Needless to say when they go out they take Leigh's car. Furthermore, Leigh is very excited to be part of ModernMom.com. She thinks she is that much closer to meeting her DWTS favourite, Maks.
 
Cheers.
