New Tattoo
So when I was 17 years old I borrowed my friends ID and secretly got a Tattoo on my back. I thought I was so cool then. Eventually I realized that I had made a mistake and I have been living with the tattoo of an Alien on my back for the last 15 years. I finally decided to do something about it. I had 2 options: to get ride of it with lazer surgery or replace it with something that I feel has some meaning and I could live with for the rest of my days. I know someone who has done some lazer surgey for a tattoo and they found it to be expensive and not as effective as planned. So I decided to get a new tattoo over the older one. It took me about 2 or 3 years to really decide what I wanted to get and who I wanted to do the job. I wanted something that my wife would love (she hated the alien) and would have meaning to me and my family. So here is the reason behind the new tattoo. Let's start at the bottom.
Silver Ferns - represents New Zealand. This place is close to my heart so I wanted something in there that represented my 2nd favorite country in the world (Canada being my first).
Nautical Stars - Kristi has always loved these stars so I thought it was a great way to have her input on the Tattoo.
Scroll - has the initials of Kristi , Haydn , Brody , & Tyson. The first question that I have had from many people is "what if you have more kids?". Well there is a smaller scroll underneath that I could add a name to.
Purple stars - favorite colour.
Old School Sparrows - always loved these birds when I have seen them.
So I hope this post is understood by those who may not agree with tattoos, but maybe you can understand why I wanted to get rid of the old one.
