For a very long time I have wanted a tattoo. When I was younger, I would entertain the idea, but I never really found something that I would want permanently branded onto my skin. So I would forget about it and then every few years I would want one again. For my 30th birthday I wanted Vinay and I to get matching Ohm's. An ohm is an Indian symbol, that means peace and tranquility. Vinay wasn't too keen on the idea. I was too chicken to do it alone. So 30 came and went and still no tattoo.
Here I am approaching my 35 birthday and once again the tattoo bug has bitten and this time I really want to do it. So for a few months I have been thinking about what I want to get. I have always really liked how Angelina Jolie has the geographical coordinates of her children's birth places. Of course hers is to cover up Billy Bob Thorton's name, but still, what a nice tribute to your children. So with the second adoption still very far away. I thought it would be really great to get Liv's birth place coordinates tattooed right above my hip bone. And then when our second child comes home I would get his or her coordinates added to the tattoo. I was very excited because Liv's coordinates even included the # 35, how cool was that. I had it all figured out, I had even started researching writing styles. A good thing to do when you want to be spontaneous for your mid-life crisis, yea right!!!!
Well in my research I found out that the annoying OctoMom, Nadya Suleman, has the same tattoo in her crazy ploy to become/look like Angelina Jolie. Now I have no problem copying Angelia, but the OctoMom, No, I just can't seem to do it.
SO here I am a month away from my 35 birthday, wanting a tattoo, something that would have special meaning and I am out of ideas. So I'm putting this out there and hoping blogland or facebook friends can help me with some thoughts. I don't want another birthday to go by and still not doing this one thing from my bucket list!!!!

that's a good question! im the same as you. i've toyed with the idea since WAAAAY before it was even legal for me to get a tat. i still don't have one bc i am too fickle to commit. i say, if you really liked the idea of the coordinates then you should do it regardless of crazy octomom and her insane need for attention.
curse you octomom....and who is that, btw? I am picturing a mom with 8 arms right now. come one and make that appointment and figure all this stuff out later. no appt=no pressure to get it donw...lol! I agree to go with your idea. in the end, no one else is really gunna have the exact same tat. go for it rebel.

Ok... I must confess... I have a few tattoos too... And my first was when my niece passed away 5 years ago... Yep... 5 days after my 35 birthday... It was the night of my Nieces funeral, and 8 of us decided we were going to all go and get a tattoo... My neice wanted a Kermit the Frog Tattoo, but never could do it... So ALL 8 of us got a Kermit the frog, in one way or another, in different parts of out bodys... my is on my back, with Kermit sitting in a cloud with his hand out with Angel dust in a pile on his hand, with a Pink Ribbon floating above it.
Yes, once I got one, they started to become addicting... Kind of like adoption!~ I stopped with 2 kids for now, but have 5 Tattoos...
Now for my next tattoo, I want something to do with Guatemala, Angelena and Angelo, and Angels... I think I want to go with they Mayan Gods and Goddess with the Mayan Calender... Not sure yet, cause that is alot of pain... I mean work!
