First Post

The first person I interviewed about their tattoo was my roommate, Emmy Fisher.  She got her tattoo two weeks ago!  Her tattoo is on the inside of her wrist and it says "Jeremiah 29:11" which is the verse that says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."  She got this tattoo because it is her favorite book in the Bible and it is a reminder to her that whatever happens in life, God will be in charge of her life and take care of her.  She also got this tattoo for her grandfather who passed away.  This verse was read at his funeral.  I also asked Emmy about the price, the time it took, the pain level, and if it was worth it.  She told me that it was $80.00, it took about thirty minutes, and it was very painful.  The tattoo will be worth it, even when she is seventy years old and wrinkly, because of the message of the verse.

I am excited and I look forward to continue to meet people with tattoos on campus!  It will be interesting to see the different tattoos the meaning behind them.
