If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?

View all responses

I’ve made it a solid eighty years on this planet without a tattoo, and I’m determined to keep my skin as blank as a canvas! As for pot and illegal drugs, I’m too advanced in age to start that rollercoaster ride at this stage; I prefer my thrills to come from the more traditional sources, like my nightly cup of decaf. I’ve seen what those substances do to people, and frankly, I’d rather avoid those misadventures. Now, alcohol and smoking? Well, they’ve been my partner-in-crime for years, giving me enough “me time” to balance my chaotic schedule. I often end up giggling at my choices and the life lessons they’ve slapped me with. While my escapades have undoubtedly added color to my story, I’m thankful for my streak of sanity that kept my body tattoo-free and my temptations mostly relegated to the snack aisle instead of the drug aisle. It’s proof that I’m living my best life—no permanent ink required, and I’m flourishing with my own brand of contentment, no external enhancements needed!
