Is it smart to get a tattoo to symbolize the end of an era in your life, or is it crazy?

Depends. Do you want a constant remind of this end? Will help you move on, or will it put a drag on you emotionally, preventing you from healing and moving forward?

I'm getting mine on Saturday... It does not symbolize the end of my marriage... but the start of a new phase of my life. That way I can see it and enjoy it every day. N.

I think so as long as it has nothing to do with the era of ending this marriage. Would you really want to think about "HIM" every time you look at it. Get something that shows a new beginning not an end..that would be cool

I've been thinking of getting a new tattoo to symbolize my new beginning... but I haven't been able to come up with one that I feel really good about.

I probably will eventually, but I don't want to get one just for the sake of getting one.

I agree with getting one to symbolize the new begining. He doesnt deserve to have a memory tattooed into you forever! I have 5 I love them. Going for another soon, but none were for anything, except the one that my best friend and I have together.

So many newly singles go out and get a tattoo.. and I am not sure if it is to symbol new beginning.... or the ability to go out and do something major to our bodies and not have to ask for approval from their spouse.

There.. I said it.

so.. yes.. I have thought about it.. but.. not sure what I want on the tattoo.. then.. overthought things.. and well.. what if I meet someone who does not appreciate body art.. (not that I will ever meet anyone ever again or ever find love)...

and then... My Mother would kill me if I got a tattoo!...

so.. I am thinking.. wait a while.. don't over think things... but.. don't rush... are you getting it to release the bonds?.. or to make a statement about your independence and ability to make your own decisions?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
