Hey Iguanas! 👋
I want to share something super personal today: my tattoos!
It's actually a wild journey because, seriously, I used to be one of those people who said: "I will NEVER have a tattoo." 🙅♀️
My main reference point was my great-grandmother—all wrinkled, and I couldn't help but picture how "weird" a tattoo would look on her skin. That thought was like a scratched record, playing over and over in my head.
Then, around age 25, a little lightbulb went off: Why am I so hung up on how something will look in old age when I might not even live to see it? 🤔
So, I decided: Okay, I'm getting one! But naturally, a new fear popped up, a fresh scratched record: What if I get bored of it in a few years? How will I remove it?
I came up with a ridiculous (but totally necessary for me!) plan: I’ll choose a tattoo, wait 5 years, and if I still love it, I'll get it for my 30th birthday.
🎂The Big 3-0 hit, and my journey began!
First came Little My, and I was already planning the next one. Then Snufkin appeared, but I immediately realized the real core theme was the TREE.
🌳 This year, Grandma Willow joined the crew—though she's just an echo of the entire tree's power...
I'm still missing one final character to truly connect this whole tree into a single masterpiece.
I’ve been brainstorming the next one... maybe SpongeBob? 😂 Or perhaps Kiara from The Lion King 2? Maybe Sailor Moon? I honestly don't know yet. I won't get a tattoo until I'm 100% sure!
What about you? Do you have tattoos? Love them? Hate them? Secretly dreaming of getting one? What’s your story? Let me know in the comments!
Or... Help me find the final character!👇
