Healing Nicely

Tristan's new tattoo is healing nicely. He's had some peeling, and a temporary freak-out when he thought it was peeling completely away, but now that it's almost done peeling, the real beauty of the tattoo is starting to shine through. He'll definitely have to go have it touched up in December when he comes home for Christmas break, but I think all in all, he's pretty happy with it.

Happy enough that he's talking about getting more. Tattoos, that is. He wants Chinese words/symbols such as Love (over his heart), hope, happiness, etc. I told him he could be a walking billboard of inspiration. Hell, instead of majoring in foreign language in college, he could major in inspiration, and sell inspirational products after graduation.

I guess I should be happy. He wants a number of tattoos, but nothing gawdy or satanic like some that I've seen. All are positive and motivating. That's a good thing.

Man, I'm proud of that boy!
