OK, so I did it.

I recently got back from Florida, as most people know. While I was there, I took it as an opportunity to do something I have had planned for quite some time. I got a tattoo to honor my father. A lot of people do memorial tattoos, but this was something I wanted to do as an honor thing, mostly so that he could know it was there. I designed it, and all of it has meaning to me.

It's the colon/colorectal cancer awareness ribbon. Although the ribbons are important, I have always maintained that ribbons weren't cures... And that we rely hugely on prayer when it comes to my daddy. Because of this, I wanted to work in my other father, the king of kings. This is where the Jesus fish comes into play. And guess what? I had a witnessing opportunity in the TATTOO SHOP. Not one soul in there knew what the Jesus fish was. My tattoo guy says, "so it's like throwin yo Christian gang sign back in the day?" I say yeahhh.... kinda. He thought that was cool. But regardless, we had a good, deep conversation, I got him interested in a message bible, and I really hope he went to dig more on learning His word. (Please don't condemn the message bible here, the only way to get him remotely interested was to talk up one that was "easy" to understand)
So, the ribbon explains itself, the fish is for recognition of who has blessed my family with more days with my daddy, and well, the daddy is, just what he is. MY daddy. He is my strongest ally, the one that always has my back, as does Christ. This is why it's on my back.
If you are anti tattoo, don't comment, because honestly, I don't care what you think. I'm just as saved as the next Christian, tattoos or not. Me and my ink will see you in Heaven.

Just you wait and see.
