[Sundae]

I'm sure I had a pic of my tattoo somewhere on here, but I haven't been able to find it using search.

It's a strawberry. My friends at school called me Cherry Berry, and I've always felt connected to anything berrylicious (like Sundaes!)

It's on my lower back. What Infi calls a tramp stamp. But when I got it, I wanted it somewhere that people would not see it unless I chose to show it. Low rider jeans were still in the future then. And in truth I've never worn them, having too much belly fat to make them look anything but grim. Ditto a bikini. I think my last one was when I was about seven.

I'm sure I've told this before, but I wanted a tattoo from the age of 18. My bf at the time told me to wait a year - if I still wanted one then, at least I knew I was committed for life. I did still want one then - and we're talking 1991. The only female I knew with a tattoo was a millionaire's daughter. I was well jeal.

I still love it. I'm still so happy I had it. I'm the reason Mum had hers. It's on her bum so no-one except Dad ever sees it. It has his name on it... When she retired from the Police her leaving present was vouchers for the parlour close to the Police Station because she'd talked about getting one for all the years I'd had mine. Bless.
