A great tattoo is a statement, not a style. And getting it is a
journey, not a destination. - Vince
Hemingson My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do,
where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life
when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a
knife or with a professional tattoo artist.-
Johnny Depp
I soon will be getting my first tattoo, Yay!!!!
I hope your week rolls smoothly ahead.

"Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for those who have the vision to recognize it as such". ~ Henry Miller
