A key word that you will see:
Fragmentation: a mental process where a person becomes intensely emotionally focused on one aspect of themselves, such as “I am angry” or “no one loves me,” to the point where all thoughts, feelings and behavior demonstrate this emotional state, in which, the person does not or is unable to take into account the reality of their environment, others or themselves and their resources. This is a term that my therapist and I use and is on the continuum of dissociation.
Oh, my!!! More and more people in their 40's, 50's and 60's are getting their first tattoos. It is a growing trend. Much to some adult children, husbands and fathers dismay!!
So what do you have to say about you, your parents or grandparents getting tattoos?

Very interesting. I want a tattoo but I think I am too afraid to make such a big commitment-- they're so permanent! And I couldn't imagine my parents getting tattoos. They're so clean-cut and boring.
Do you have a tattoo?
Wishing you well,

NOS...hee, hee. I do not have a tattoo, but if I did get one, it would me on my lower bottom and would be a small Snoopy...only my husband and I would be able to see it. :-)
I do not even have my ears pierced. I have no desire to have a tattoo. Forget the parents. Blessings.
I think good on them if they want to break out of the mold a bit.
I guess it depends on the tattoo - some I find pretty unattractive.
I wouldn't get one - firstly I think because I don't enjoy pain. Then because they are so close to permanent. What if I change my mind about what I like (when I think back twenty years I was quite different, and hope to be at least that different to now in another 20 years).
I got my first tattoo almost two years ago now in Thailand (aged 36). I had wanted to get inked for many years before that, but hadn't seen anything I really liked.
Then, I saw this particular Thai-style of tattoo and I was suddenly VERY interested.
It is between my shoulder blades and I love it. There will be more... :)
