I have no tattoos. I appreciate good ones on other people, but have never felt the need to get one myself. That said, back in July I became obsessed with the idea of an agave tattoo. Not a permanent tattoo, but rather a temporary one to "decorate" my surgery scar. Sort of a recognition of what I'd been through and celebrating my beginning to walk again. The day I got the go-ahead to start weight-bearing was my birthday, how better to mark the freedom of an ankle uncovered?
I searched online offerings and finally ordered this set. Granted there are things I didn't want (ants!?) but that agave was one of the best I found and with a bonus saguaro and a price of only $6.40 for the whole set it was a bargain.

Wow ! Cool ! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like!
DeleteA very belated happy birthday. I stopped counting a long time ago. Not a fan of the tattoo craze in current fashion but I like your small succulent ones. Fun to enjoy for a short period but way easier to remove.
ReplyDeleteWay easier to remove! And less painful too.
DeleteLove it! A perfect compromise for hiding the scar. Glad you're on the mend!
ReplyDeleteI wish there had been someway to make the scar look like an agave bloom spike, but no.
DeleteNow I know you're truly back in action when I see your trademarked cuffed jeans. Those tats are so fetching you just might have to reconsider getting a permanent one!
ReplyDeleteHa! I never thought of my predilection for turning up the bottom of my jeans as a trademark! You made me laugh.
DeleteI'm surprised at how much I like these, Loree. Of course, their temporary nature is a large part of that reaction. I also have no tattoos and, although I've considered something small and discrete in the past, I've shelved that idea. It would probably give my husband a heart attack. (Decades ago, he expressed concerns about my piercing my ears...)
ReplyDeleteWow, he's a tough character!
DeleteGreat idea! I've occasionally thought of getting a very small tattoo, but never have and probably never will. But I like the idea of temporary tats. Yours are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI see a small butterfly?
DeleteThe tat is fun but nothing beats Andrew’s additions to Frieda.
ReplyDeleteI hope she doesn't mind!
DeleteSweet! I love the idea of you having an agave tattoo. Maybe someday? How did you feel with the fake ones? I'd bet pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI love them! But as much as I know I will ALWAYS love agaves I just don't see myself committing to a permanent tattoo.
DeleteYes, me too. Far too permanent ;)
DeleteI love your temporary tats. No permanent ones for me either, for multiple reasons, a fear of needles being one. I have scars on my chest, but I feel any tattoo will draw more attention to it. The ankle is a perfect spot. Freda got nothing on you!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I noticed comments on most of early September posts have been wiped out... is it only on my end?
I noticed those comments were all gone as of last night, not sure when it happened. Part of me thinks it's just a glitch and they'll reappear, part of me thinks Google no longer pays any attention to what's going on with Blogger and it's just the beginning of more issues.
DeleteThat was a great idea and you never know, you may eventually decide to hide the scar permanently.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it, but if I do...
DeleteSo THAT's where your ankle tattoo is from!!
ReplyDeleteI'm considering ordering a few more, before they're gone!
