So often people get tattoos that some way memorialize a person from their past that was near and dear to their heart, that have passed on. I Love that idea. I plan to get one of those very soon for my beloved, very much so missed Grandma.
But, here’s what I say: Why wait until someone is gone? If you really love someone so much, let them know now! Well, maybe that’s not for everyone but, I decided it’s for me.
I have a tattoo that I got 6 years ago that was left black and grey with my Mom’s name in it. If you’ve been reading for awhile you probably saw it on the Twitter Tat Tour. I also have a “Milo” tattoo for my baby nugget. Today I decided to get the tattoo for my Mom colored in…Finally. But, I decided to add my Brother’s name to it, Brett.
I Love my Brother, obviously. But, I appreciate him almost equally. My Brother and his wife took me in when I was a teenager and raised me for my last few years of teen-hood, and gave me a sense of normalcy in my life that I really just never had. He’s always been their for me. Stood behind me, as if he were my own Father but, always maintained the fun relationship of brother-sister. In a strange way he is like my Brother and My Dad. When Milo was born we jokingly referred to him as “Grandpa”.
He didn’t know I was doing this. When I sent him the picture today it was safe to say he was shocked. But, I know he appreciates the gesture of it.
Sometimes I really suck at letting people know how I feel about them, so this is my way of letting him know I love and appreciate him. And now? I’m pretty certain I’m his favorite sibling! Ha!

That is very cool.
that’s great.
I was opposed to getting “MOM” written on me because it seemed so cliche. I got the same tattoo my mom has, in the same place, by the same artist, twenty years later. Mine is a little more modern looking, you can see the artist has grown a lot, but it will always be my “MOM”. It will always make me feel like Smee in Peter Pan.
gorgeous! Love it! I have my kids names tattooed on my inner wrist (also prob saw that on the Twitter TatTour) and the one on my foot is both for my husband and just life in general.
Loving the new tattoo – i am so itching for another one (but have gotten 2 this year already)
I love the coloring! You have such an awesome family but I have to agree, Brett is an amazing brother
Love it and I love you lots sista!
That was so sweet of you! I bet Mercer’s jealous! You’ve got three names on you & none of them are his! lol. I am getting Brandt tattooed next time I go. I am stoked.
Mercer could care less if I ever get a tat with his name on it. HE was super jealous that he didnt get one and i did.
Yeah, luckily Scott isn’t into getting tattooed anymore. So, any time someone in this house gets tattooed it’s me! lol. He hasn’t gotten anything since his chest and that was before we were married, I think. What did your brother think? Did he love it?
Emmie Bee recently posted..Seriously though- I’m done
He loved it. He still hasn’t seen it in person but, between the tattoo itself & this blog post ( i hope he’s not reading this comment ::crosses fingers::) it made him cry. He’s a big emotional mush ball. We have that in common.
LOVE tattoo’s, Super sweet that you got your brother’s name too. =)
