"Don't Ever Let Anyone Color On You"

Who would have thought that six years and two kids later a tattoo wouldn't seem as cool as it once did. I wish that back then I had had the maturity to see that they were not cool or attractive when I got one to begin with...or when I got the next one...or when I got that last one.  I know it is SHAMEFUL; three tattoos! Thank you God for laser treatments and Groupons!! I have gone a couple of times to see how much it would cost to have my tattoos removed but the price what always WAY more than we could afford to spend at the time. And I honestly felt bad taking money away from our family because of my youthful indiscretions. But then my friend forwarded me a Groupon last week for four laser tattoo removal sessions at Prescription 2 Fitness in Vestavia for only $100!! Needless to say I jumped all over it. I called Shaun and he gave me the approval to buy three of them, but they only allowed two per person. None of the less, I bought two and scheduled my first appointment!

I went today and it really was not bad at all. I had heard that it was very painful to have a tattoo removed, but they numbed my foot before they started the laser so I did not feel anything. I only heard the popping noise of the laser gun. I have to wait five weeks between each laser treatment which stinks because I am so ready for these things to be gone! Hopefully Lillian and John Whitten will find a better way to act out when they get older....well, I hope they don't feel the need to act out at all but if they do I hope it doesn't include any type of body art! Whenever Lillian points at my tattoo now I always just tell her, "Don't ever let anyone color on you".  Hopefully that will stick with her when she gets older.
