I just found your site. As a frustrated artist wannabe, I love it! I wish I could do what you are doing, and you are very inspirational.

I have a tattoo story... my son's friend, who is 16, had been saying he wanted to get a tattoo (eventually -- you need to be 18, or so I thought). He had an idea, but I thought it was a bad choice for him. So I drew a picture, a claddagh heart, and told him about the meanings, and said that when he was old enough to get a tattoo, he should get one like this.

I was SHOCKED when his Mom took him to get a tattoo and the picture I drew was engraved on his arm forever!!! He's only 16, I really never thought he would get one so young, and I assumed he'd have changed his mind or lost the picture by the time he was older...

(although I really DO like the picture I drew...)
