Good discussion on my ink thread here!

Yes... you do need a tat to show courage, etc. Our life experiences leave tattos on our souls of who we are... without any outward visible sign... other than our actions themselves.

D#MN... someone call Dr. Phil... he could be unemployed on that one lol... (part serious on the comment tho, just being goofy)


OK...

I do also agree that there is this common thing w/tats in sports. Had tri gf who was going to get the ironman symbol as well. I think maybe part of what the commenting gf meant.

For me to get one, I was originally thinking I would ink around my bike crash scar. Something that changed some things in my life forever. Guy buddy says, "don't ink over it, scars are the tats of the brave, they tell a story all in them selves etc.". Well...

I wasn't going to ink to cover it up. But, he has a point. So, I think I would put in right below my scar. Not focusing on the negative of the crash. But rather the positive of overcoming, and continuing on. Ink in the symbol for infinity.

And oh... I really love that tat on the TE model too! There is a better pic of the tat in another tank top, but can't think where I saw it atm.
