Tattoos, Mohawks, and Others

Well, there it is. It's a sign for the trinity in Christianity, and is especially popular among Celtic Christians. I love it, even though it did hurt quite a bit.

I think it's a strange business altogether. After all, you pay someone a hundred dollars or more to stab you thousands of times for an hour. I guess I'm a sadist or something, but I really like it. Fortunately, so does my mother, but we agreed that it would be best that my dad not find out that I got it done.

Anyway, we had so much fun on Wednesday. We started our "field trip" at a firehouse where Brian, Mike, and I had lunch with the firefighters and then got to go a hundred feet up in a fire truck ladder thing. It was a whole lot of fun.

After that, we went and got Mike and Brian's head shaved into mohawks. (I think that's how you spelled it.) It was so much fun!!! After that, we went and spent the rest of the afternoon until 7, which was when my appointment for the tattoo was. It was at this little place off of the main street in Golden. It was awesome. The tattoo parlor is called Faith Tattoo Parlor.

It's a great place, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to get a good tattoo.

Anyway, for a little bit of background on my tattoo. I suppose I like it most because the symbol of trinity is all centered around the cross. It's going to be a constant reminder that the work of God, in all cases, is all centered around the cross. All things are made by, for, and through Jesus. The suffering of Christ on the cross is the center of God's work in my life, and it is my goal to make the cross of Christ my own as I pick up the cross that Christ has called us to.

Well, I have to get to a party in a little bit, so I'm off.

God's blessings!
