Well, I did it: I am tattooed.
Ali, Mary, and I got tattoos several weeks ago at Lucky's in downtown Northampton. I'm really glad that I did it although, I think that's it for me & tattoos. That baby hurt. I think that Mary described it best: it's like being stung by 100 bees while someone drags a hot knife across your skin.
Because I love it more than my mother tongue, I got my tattoo in Spanish. It says "sierva" and means servant.
Here's the scripture that I've sort of picked to back it up: "It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." --Matthew 20:26-28
I hope for it to serve as both a reminder and a testimony that I am firstly a servant of God and consequently a servant of others.
How fun! How new! How exciting!
