My entire family has tattoos, so it has always seemed normal to me. Though I have made sure that most of mine can be hidden if need be, I am lucky that I've never really had to worry about covering them up. I'm glad for that because like many people who express themselves with body art, mine are all very special representing someone I love or marking a particular journey in my life. I have an owl on the side of my calf that is made up of all fruits and vegetables that I got when I adopted a plant-based lifestyle. I actually get more compliments on that one from very straight-laced-looking older men than anyone else! But then perhaps I am judging too much based on their appearance myself. ;)

Hehe. Sounds like a beautiful piece. Mine all have a deeper meaning too and I love them. So nice you grow up with a family that thinks tattoos are normal. My mom had to get used to them ;) And always rolls her eyes when I get a new one hehe. Planning on getting a back piece... not good to have tattoo artist friends... cause they are always lookig for some skin to ink.
