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!
I'm so excited for you! Your tattoo is beautiful and I loved reading the multiple ways it holds meaning for you. I got my tattoo in my last year of college, and at the time it was a reminder of what I had learned and experienced there. Now I see it a little differently, as one of the first times I did something for myself even though it was scary and pushed the boundaries of the "good girl" image I was raised with. Mine is a butterfly, so not really very edgy but I felt like it was at the time!
My spouse has lots of tattoos, and they are each unique and special to him. He’s encouraged me to get them over the years but I’ve just never landed on an image that I love enough to make it permanent. Maybe someday. We’ve actually talked about getting tarot tats together 😱 i think our parents would probably die a little bit. Lol. I LOVE your moon phases.
