I probably mentioned this to you before (we seem to wind up on these same threads alot...) but I have a dear friend who got her first tattoo at 50 (to celebrate her birthday). Its a rose (her mom was named Rose so it has double meaning). She added a small bud and some leaves for 55. For sixty she says she will get the trellis :)
Well,
most of the women I know and admire as performers have some kind of tat....and one that inspired me was Rachel Brice who actually has hers with her mantra so to speak. So I thought about it and I have a lotus on my back and I’m adding a bud for every year I’ve taught. It’s been the best 10 years of my life.
Now, last year, one of my students turned 45 and wanted a navel piercing.....SOOOO we all went with her and 3 of us got ours done too....@ 35, 45 and 50.
The next BD, we had 2 girls turn 18 plus another adventurous student and off we went again. Best chick bonding in the world :)
