Would you get a dog related tattoo?

[BG and Gavin]

Just got this article sent through Dogster:  http://blogs.dogster.com/living-with-dogs/simone-reyes-talks-to-us-... and it reminded me of a discussion we had in yappy hour on Friday.  A number of us were on chat trying to convince Dori that she needed to get a Rua tattoo to mark the beginning of  the next chapter of her life.  (Hmmmm maybe the new KangaRua logo??)  Mind you it was easy for us liquor soaked cheerleaders to urge her on ;)  I recall someone on DK (can't remember who) has paw prints tattooed on her ankle or foot.  So what do you think DKers - to tattoo or not to tattoo - that is the question!

[Dori & Rua]

Susan, I have been thinking about a tatoo since 1999.  It is about time I pull the trigger or stop talking about it.  I think I have a pretty high tolerance to pain.  Since I can't have a glass or two of wine (blood thinners), perhaps I'll just have to bit the proverbial bullet.  I know both of my sisters will go with me, so I can squeeze their hands!  And I no longer care if ANYTHING sags...so WTD!

 

:-) 

 

I'll post pictures!

 

[Susan and Sasha]

Lol...

That's a Lot of thinking....and it sounds like You're Ready To Go Girl!!

There is pain...but it's not that bad...and I had to do some hand squeezing too!! Lol...

Sounds like it's a well thought out plan...and a good one at that!

I don't think anything will sag...so no worries there!

Can't wait to see the pictures...

I'm sure you'll be Happy and it will be Beautiful!

[Dori & Rua]

I'll tell my sisters they are assigned to Tattoo duty!

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

I can't wait!

I've seen Ps 119.105 across the inside arch of the foot and wanted it in white. really subtle.

[Dori & Rua]

Your word is a lamp for my feet, 
a light on my path.

Amen!

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

YES!  It is so cute!!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Um, love love this drawing. Where exactly would you put it Dori?

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Dori, that area, lower back, is referred to as the Tramp Stamp area. And remember YOU won't really be able to see it without doing some Yoga moves. Knowing it is there may be enough but don't you want to be able to see it?

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Love it....and you're lower back is a perfect spot.

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Yes, that would be a great one..... I think you should do it.  You need a really good Tattoo artist so you need to do your homework on that. Then of course we need to have photo's.... YES.

[F, Calla & Luca]

I think it's a great picture. But why not get one made where you can hang it up and see it? Why a tattoo? What does it signify to you? Those are the questions I think you need to ask yourself. Lots of folks are encouraging you but they don't have to go through the tattooing or live with the tattoo. You have stated that you'll have it where it can't be seen in public nor will you see it. So what statement does it make? We all have the freedom to tattoo something on our bodies, that's a given. But it is best, I think, not to make any major unchangeable decisions during times of emotional upheaval.
