Did you ever have something in life that you’d love to do, if the circumstances were just right? For example - maybe you’d go back to school once all your kids get a little older. I have some things like that in my life, too. The one I’m going to tell you about here is one that I spent time thinking about, only in an attempt to come up with “the right circumstances”. I know - doesn’t make much sense.
Let’s jump in.
Tattoos. Some are fascinating, some are repulsive, some are very thoughtful. I’ve never seriously considered getting a tattoo. What I *have* considered, though, is this: If I were to get a tattoo, I’d want it to be well-planned and with great meaning to me. So, what would it be?
I’ve thought about this question on and off, for years. Years. I didn’t obsess over it, I’d just think about it as the thought crossed my mind. After years of thinking, I was pretty sure that I’d never come up with something, and that was actually okay with me because I wasn’t actually planning to get a tattoo. I just wanted to know if I’d ever think of anything meaningful enough.
And then I found this:

So I now know what tattoo I’d get - if ever I got a tattoo. It would be a tattoo on the inside of my left hand, with my children’s names. Oldest to youngest, top to bottom, with the reference of Isaiah 49:16 underneath. I think it would look pretty neat! But, I have no desire to “spend time” with a needle! I’m just glad to finally have a plan if ever I was to get a tattoo.

That is a sweet tattoo idea! I want a tattoo that signifies my husband and kids, but yeah, I’m not too eager to actually get it… I have a fear of needles!

Same here! I have a son who likes to draw with Sharpies - on himself or furniture or whatever. It actually hasn’t happened for a long time, but maybe that’s the way we need to go for a tattoo - Sharpie!
Have a great weekend, Camille!

Definitely a neat idea for a tattoo, especially with your children’s names. I’ve always loved that verse anyway. It really makes us know we are loved by the Lord. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Gail (BibleLoveNotes.com)

I believe as GOd’s children, HIs words are seen in us with or without a tattoe. Anyway, I am too afraid of needles and I think that God created the body as it is, or he will made different. Anyway, I did do it once in my eyelids to avoid using mascara, but I regret it very much. My eyelids got infected and I looked I like a witch for weeks. That I learned my lesson. Never again:)
