First tattoooo

Tattoos have already been popular for quite some time, but it seems to me that nowadays, more and more people seem to be getting them whether they have a special meaning or not.

I've always wanted a tattoo.

My older brother has always wanted a tattoo, but my parents are too strict to even consider letting the idea of us having one cross their mind.

When my brother graduated, he said "Mom, Dad...I want a tattoo." They pretty much laughed in his face, and to this day he still doesn't have one.

Now its my turn...its my graduation coming up now and I finally want to be able to get my first tattoo. I started letting my parents know by letting them see my status' on Facebook about me wanting a tattoo. You know, they kinda blew it off...whatever. But finally, I approached them about it-while my older brother was sitting in the room-and just came right out and asked them.

"Mom and dad, I want to get my first tattoo as my graduation gift"

My brother, he just laughed. And me? I thought I was just wasting my time even asking. But thats when both of us were in complete and total shock...my dad just said "Okay, find out what you want."

WHAT?!

I thought I heard him wrong...or he was just playing a sick joke, but I FINALLY got the okay to get my tattoo! Except now, I just have to wait for graduation day, great...
