A Simple Yet Meaningful Word

Live.  It sounds, and looks, simple.  But, for Caitlin, it’s much more than that.  I ran into Caitlin at a 1st birthday party.  Her wrist tattoo was subtle, but it stood out like a sore thumb in the group.  I had to ask her about it.  I got an annotated version of the story because there was a crying child in the room looking for attention.  How could we resist giving it to him?  He was the birthday boy after all.

Caitlin was on vacation with family and friends in Key Largo when a few of them decided to get tattoos.  She and two friends all wanted to get the words, “Live,” “Love,” and, “Laugh,” tattooed on them.  Clearly, she got live tattooed on her right wrist.  Later that night she was involved in a car accident and nearly lost her life.

I could tell when she was telling me the story that she was a little embarrassed by her choice of tattoos but she was amazed by the coincidence.  I’ll get a more in depth version of the story soon.  These are some of the most fascinating tattoos.  They’re so small yet they hold such a powerful meaning.

Update

Sorry for the lack of updates.  I think I got a little ahead of myself when I launched BehindYourInk.com and I wasn’t completely ready yet.  I’m making some changes to the site and then things will get back on track.  Thanks for checking in!
