I love it!

It’s lovely, the size is perfect. I like colour but I’m assuming the Phoenix is staying the way it is?

Are you only planning on having one child? If the next one’s a girl, how will you even it up?

Wax it lads, wax it! Nothing worse than snuggling up to a prickley body. You’ll get 4 weeks out of it and it grows back soft.

Years and years ago, there was a tatto artist in Dublin, at the time, he was about the ONLY tattoo artist in Dublin. Very famous, brilliant work, he had none himself that were visible. I always took it that this was because there wasn’t anyone else around to do them! Or at least anyone he trusted. That was my take on it, and it was a long time ago.

I’m sorry, but I can’t get past the issue of doing what your husband wants and sacrificing your own desire. If it’s down to money, wait until you have your own and get what you want. You might end up resenting it. Hard as it sounds, there’s a bit of blackmail going on. Alternatively, get something that can be added to. You’d be surprised at how things can kinda shrink a bit when you get used to looking at it, so going a bit bigger then won’t be noticed.

Did you say you were going to forget about your degree? That’s a shame. Stick it out, further education is no weight to carry.

As far as being ‘treated like shit’ is concerned, I take it the attitude you sometimes display here is purely the endevours of an on-line persona? One that would be entirely too intolerant of the demands put on an indentured apprentice, and scathing of us mere mortals, who would be customers, with dodgy ideas and/or body art?
