My grandma has a small tattoo that she got when she was young. But she feels shy about it and always hides it. When she and my grandpa were young and in love, they were at a party and agreed to get each other’s names tattooed to commemorate their love. My grandma was easygoing and got a tattoo right that night while my grandpa just fell asleep.
So, he’s never fulfilled his part of the agreement. Now he says that he wants to wait a bit longer because what if they break up.
Today was a really nice day. My ex-fiancé and I got matching tattoos, but when we were in the tattoo studio, we weren’t ex-fiancés. We were friends. We were laughing, sharing stories about our 13 years (almost!) of friendship, and neither of us mentioned that we used to be a couple. © wolfnsunflowers / Twitter
I have a Kraken calf tattoo. I’ve always been drawn to the ocean and found special peace when surfing or just rocking on a board while the tide rolled under me. I used to be terrified of whatever creatures lived under the water, but all that fear disappeared when I rode my first wave.
Now my wife and I go on vacation with the sole intention of seeing whales or orcas or swimming with the sharks. We’ve been caught in storms and seen nothing but blue all around us, but those times are the most magical.
This tattoo is my acknowledgment of the amazing creatures living in the ocean. It’s also a symbol of what I’m searching for when I go on these trips. A little piece of me still believes that one day, I will see the Kraken in real life. © Diego Salvatierra / Quora
I have 6 tattoos, all of which I got after age 43. They all have personal meanings. I have my kids’ initials (one on each hip), a big one on my belly to “decorate” my childbearing marks, an owl on a branch because my mom loved owls, and 2 rounded Celtic trinities to represent the 3 stages of a woman (maiden, mother, and wise woman). © Shelley-Ollig / Quora
