OMG! LOL!! Had to respond. I think I am in love! Not with Ash, let me quickly add. Too bad we are both married with children. Think of the fun amusing each other endlessly with our wit. A laughfest for life. I am 71, have been married for over 42 years.....to the same person (my soulmate so I am really not looking (ever) for a substitute). I have three grown children, all professionals- one in management, one with a masters in counseling, and one physician daughter (mini-me). All three got pierced right out of high school on the traditional HS grad road trip with friends. The two girls on the nose (tiny studs, no dripping snot-looking balls and chains, thank God) and the son on the lip. I only gave them grief because they did not consult me knowing I am paranoid about such quaint things as sterile technique. Their choice, I said outwardly, while cringing privately. My wife accepted this with similar equanimity. I think the longest any of the piercings lasted was about 3 months and then, one day they were gone, never to return. Funny thing is that I completed a full Ironman triathlon at 61 and, after six months of cogitating about whether to get an M-dot Ironman tattoo on my outer calf, my wife got tired of hearing me deliberate out loud and said, "You earned it. Get it." All three kids were shocked that dear old Dad got a tat. It is really discrete and tasteful. Promise. And, no more, ever........unless I win the Nobel or something. Is there a tat for that? In closing, I am the only tatted member of my family. Thankfully, I am retiring soon and no longer looking for work except maybe as a Walmart greeter of something similar to get me out of the house. I think I saw my wife sending out resumes......................
LOL I love this!!! My husband (60) never had or wanted a tattoo. Doesn't hate mine but it just wasn't his thing. HOWEVER... I got my first tat in Amsterdam when I was 19. (Did not consult my parents, BTW.) When I got home, my uninked dad was like, "I can't believe my daughter got a tattoo before I did--let's go!" So we went and got tattoos together. (My third tattoo was a replica of the one he got that day when he passed away.) Well, my oldest daughter LOVED that dad-daughter-bonding story and for her 18th bday, all she wanted was to get tats with BOTH her 'rents... so hubby caved. Now he LOVES his ink (a tasteful sundial with all of our initials in place of the directions on his forearm) and shows it off proudly. It's too bad you can't see it in the photo; whenever a camera comes out he typically and with a great, exaggerated flourish, flexes that arm out for the shot. :)
