Inspired. Getting a new tattoo

[dawn24]

I’ve always been fond of tattoos.  Not huge ones but small, stylistic ones that hold some sort of meaning to me.  My first tattoo was at the age of 21: a feather because I am ¼  Native American.  Didn’t get my 2nd until I was 35 when I started volunteering in greyhound rescue:  a greyhound in flight with my dogs ear tattoos underneath (Racing greyhounds have the inside of their ears tattooed as puppies with their registration number and birth info).  My next tattoo I got last year:  The Pi sign to honor my Dad.  He passed away on 4/26/2010 from a rare auto-immune disease.  He was an evolutionary psychologist and loved the Pi sign.   I thought that was going to be my last one . . . but now I love someone who needs a kidney  (whether he wants me in his life or not, I still love him) . . . .   I’ve always checked that ‘organ donor’ box on my driver’s license, never though twice about it.  But now that tiny, little box means so much more to me.  SO . . . on Sunday I’ll be getting a ‘Donate Life’ tattoo.  I can’t wait

Oooh, that's nice!  Mine won't be that detailed, just a simple message to get the point across  My greyhound tattoo has opened the door for a lot of conversations with strangers about greyhound adoption.  Hoping my new tatt will do the same

My daughters both have green ribbon tattoos.  The oldest daughter got a beautiful tattoo after my transplant last year.  It is the Irish logo for organ donation --- a dead twig with "forget me not" flowers grafted on the twig to represent new life.   I think it is great that you want to do this.  And people will notice and ask question.  Great opportunity to educate others

Be sure to post pics!  I'm thinking of getting another tattoo (probably early next year) and will be asking for suggestions nearer the time.
