I love this so much! It’s so perfect. I don’t have any tattoos (yet) but my daughter does and she’s studying to become a tattoo artist. I want her to do my first tattoo. 🥰

I got my first tattoo in 2017 while I was separated from my husband because of infidelity and other things that I found out about. For me, it was part of my rebellion against everything I’ve been told about how to be a “good wife and mother“ and how to “support my husband” and how to help him in his purity struggles by offering myself to him Whenever, and however. I had such anger (and still do) against the subculture and culture that forced me to enable my husbands behavior for 32 years that I was just done. That was before I completely left the church, but it was the start. Myself daughter and I got matching tattoos that say take heart John 16. I needed a reminder that I could take heart in my relationship with God because that had nothing to do with the evangelical church. Well, I’m tempted, and still would like to get a second tattoo, so far, that’s my one and only. But it was a very empowering decision!
