"Just Tattoo of Us"

All readers! Please listen to my advice when it comes to tattoos.

Even if you are head over heels in love. DO NOT GET A TATTOO OF YOUR PARTNER ON YOUR BODY!

Their name, a pet name, their initials- just don’t do it!

Stupidly, when I was in a whirlwind romance, after 6 months, I had the date I met him surrounded by some tribal heart thing, tattooed on my butt cheek.

To add insult to injury, the date was Valentine’s Day!

It has now become a party trick of mine, after a few drinks, to advise people to not get a tattoo for their partner and to also show them the after effects of this bad decision!

Depending how many drinks have been consumed I actually forget which ass cheek it’s on as well – which always gets a few laughs!

Another reason why tattoos are a bad idea: Laser treatment hurts. It really, really hurts. I have had 4 sessions now and luckily the date and the tribal heart is no more. But the red infill of the heart still remains! I hope in time it will fade.

The only saving grace is that it’s on my ass and I can’t see it. I don’t have to face the mistake every day. I seem to forget about it – until I’ve had a few drinks that is!
