Babies and tattoos must be very different! I don't know any woman who got the first one and thought as they wheeled her to the parking lot, "Can't wait to do this again."

“Some of us can begin to heal the damage people have done to us by escaping the situation, but some of us need more than that. Tattoos make statements that need to be made. Or hide things that are no one's business. Your scars are battle wounds, but you don't see them that way. Yet.” - Tammara Webber
