Kristen Steele will give me my first tattoo.
That’s a sentence I never thought I would type. I was anti-tattoo for a long time. I’ve always had changing attitudes and interests, I didn’t want to be marked with something permanent.
Then I learned that nothing is permanent.
Even tattoos change. Their meaning can change. Their color and shape changes. They grow with you.
This tattoo will mark a new chapter in my life. After five years managing my household alone, Kristen will be joining me to expand our lives in innumerable ways. This one work of art will symbolize the many creations we are to bring into being.
That’s a lot to fit into one design. Focusing on beauty and art this month is part of that journey.
