TATTOO or not TATTOO? . . . or am I just completely nuts?

I’m a wuss.

With a pain tolerance so low, I went weak in the knees when I had my ears pierced.

So why was I even pondering this question?

Tattoo or not tattoo?

My daughter, Katie, reminded me that my firstborn, her brother, was a whopping 10 lbs. 7 oz. So I should be able to suffer through anything, right?

Yeah, well, that blessed event was made possible with an epidural.

So, when Katie and I walked into the Allentown, PA, tattoo parlor, naturally I asked if I could have an epidural.

Our tattoo artist, Matt Kramer, owner of Mind’s Eye tattoo, grinned.

He thought I was joking.
