Some prompts are easier than other prompts. This week, Mama Kat gave some tough ones. Here’s the one I picked…
4.) The world is going to come to an end unless you get a tattoo that covers your entire back. Describe the tattoo you’ll get.
Tattoos hurt.
Tattoos stretch when you get fat.
Tattoos fade over time.
Tattoos hurt more to get removed.
So I don’t have a tattoo.
But I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the tattoo I would get if I did get one.
This is what I would get on my shoulder blade…
But since I apparently need to get a tattoo to save the world, here is what I would get…
The angel from this painting…
Pink and Purple Ribbons draping from it and the words “Credendo Vides” written below.
The painting that the angel is from is called “Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weaknesses” it is by James Christensen. He’s my favorite.
The pink and purple ribbons are in support of Cancer Awareness. My cousin’s wife has breast cancer and my grandpa died from lung cancer.
The Latin means “Believing is Seeing” or something close to that.
My tattoo may not really save the world, but it would share my belief of what could help save the world.
*** The photo of Jade’s back was done on a day when the girls had me draw tattoos for them. I love my sharpies for days like that.

That’s a beautiful idea. I like the thought you have put into it.

I had a tough time with the prompts this week too. Almost went with that one. First off, though, there are worse things than the end of the world…so I would say, Good Riddens. and move on to the better things to come. That is why I didn’t chose that prompt. Ha. But yours was good!!

That painting – WOW! How have I missed this artist? I could look at it for hours. I am drawn back again and again to the angel’s feet – how weird is that?

For someone who really doesn’t want a tattoo, you did give this a lot of thought. I always thought if I was FORCED to get one I would just get one that looks like a mole. It will blend right in with all the rest of my moles.

I love that – when I was little I would play connect the dot with my moles 🙂
I love that angel! Really interesting! : ) You have the best idea. Gorgeous.
What a beautiful tattoo that would be also! I am also someone that doesn’t have tattoos….for the same reason you listed! But like you, I also think about what the tattoo would look like if I did ever get one. Something always danty like a flower with butterflies and ladybugs. So so pretty! I really like the angel idea. They are beautiful also!
