Added a little body art the other day. Accompanied daughter for her one and only tattoo, and made it a father-daughter thing. I was worried how this tattoo of a Gnome would sit with the Flower girls. I sat them down on the porch swing and asked them if they remembered what I had tattooed on my right shoulder. They both remembered and said Noah's Ark. Which is correct. I next asked them if they know why I had a Noah's Ark tattooed on my shoulder. They thought for a minute and then said, because you like to make Noah's Arks, and carve the animals. I said. "That's is right." I then said, " If I was to get another tattoo, what do you suppose it would be?" They both, at the same time said: "A Gnome!" To that answer, their mom yelled, "You didn't!" I took off my shirt and the squealing began. The girls said, "Tom, you really do like Gnomes. You like to carve them." I said, "I sure do!"
The Noah's Ark and animals is old and has kind of faded and shows it's age. But my Whittlin Gnome is new and bright. I still have some background to add to my Gnome.Now's your chance to leave a comment and tell me how foolish I am........
Why am I not surprised? LOL I dont have a tat but my hubby has a few. THey look too painful for me.
ReplyDeleteI like that Noahs Ark one too.. and Mr. Gnomey does look bright and cheery.
Does it itch?

I don`t know if you had seen or not, but I got a sea turtle tattooed on the top of my right foot at bike week in Daytona this year. I had posted a pic on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love your gnome!!
I am 51, I think after you are a certain age, you should do what you would like with your body!! lol
Tammy, I think your right. Did you know our friend Craftynorma has her eyebrows tatted on and my friend has roses on her ear lobes and wears diamonds for the center.
ReplyDeleteI think Gnomey is cool.
Your body. Your money. If you want to pay someone to repeatedly poke needles in your skin...go for it!
ReplyDeleteI let 'em poke holes (one each) in my ear lobes and paid them for that privilege too...I waited until I was almost 30 to do that.
I've never wanted a tattoo though. Just not that much of a biker chick. Not like tisme! ;o)
Marcia, no itchin, it just lays there like regular skin!
ReplyDeletetisme, I 've always heard that tats on the top of the foot HURT!
Holee, I like the idea of the roses on the ear lobes.
Sherry, Not even a tiny little wild streak? Hee Hee
I don't think it is foolish at all! How perfect! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
I am not really a tattoo fan, but I love yours! I think at 71 I need a tattoo also. :)
ReplyDeleteI say, why not???? And if not now, then when? And if your skin stretches or shifts in the next 20 years, he'll just get taller and skinnier!
