It's great to see you blogging again.<br /><br />Regarding the tattoos, at least they are private and not the 'in-your-face-and-embarrassing-to-look-at variety like some. <br /><br />I had no idea they cost so much to have done.

I have tried to take a few selfies but I don't think the world needs to see any more of me so that's why I will just take picture of my kiddos. I also like a few tattoos here and there but not the whole smothering process. I think they are going to regret it when they are much older. Take care Val and my best to you and Joe.

I wonder at what stage they will have regrets. It reminds me more of an obsession than and enhancement. I don't want my self to be shown in such an unprepared way.
