Remember this?
At least that one washed off eventually…
She’s been talking about it for a long time. I am not sure why she has been so set on getting a tattoo, but she was determined that it be something that had meaning for her and when she finally came up with the idea for 4 acorns and oak leaves (Oak = Ek, get it?) she was convinced it would be perfect. She even asked me if I would design it for her, but I demurred. Not because I didn’t want to design a cool tattoo but because I kinda didn’t want my perfect daughter to do something so irreversible, at least not without thinking about it for awhile longer. Like maybe YEARS awhile longer, haha! BUT I am fine with it, I think it was done very well (even if I could wish it was a smidge smaller) and I applaud the sentiment. Four acorns for the four of us in the Ek family. 🙂 Anyway, now it’s done and there’s no use crying over spilled ink. And she’s happy as all get out about it, so there’s that. She didn’t even have to pay for it, since 4 of her friends gave it to her for her 18th birthday.
PS. That big bruise above it is from soccer, not the tattooing.
