The Birthday Tattoo That Finally Happened

I’ve been wanting another tattoo for a while now. You know how it goes—an idea starts as a sketch in your mind, then lingers there for months as you “noodle” on the design, the placement, the meaning.

Jenny, being the incredible wife that she is, decided to give me the push I needed. For my birthday, she surprised me with a gift card to a local tattoo shop—her clever way of saying, “Stop overthinking it and make it happen.”

Well, today was the day I finally cashed in that card. And I couldn’t be happier with the results.

There’s something about getting a tattoo that’s hard to put into words—the mix of anticipation, adrenaline, and personal meaning all rolled into one. It’s more than just art on skin; it’s a story, a timestamp, a memory.

I honestly believe everyone should experience getting a tattoo at least once in their life. Whether it’s a small reminder, a symbol of change, or something purely for the love of the art—it’s an incredible, grounding experience.

Check out the results below—I’m still buzzing with excitement.
