When I was 20 I said I'd get a tattoo, did it again when i was 25. 30 rolled around and this time I was getting one for SURE! Well, this June my lovely wife and I went to CN for our 14th anniversary, and to celebrate my 40th birthday. As we were repeaters, (COR '01) we were invited to the repeaters dinner, and there on the menu that was left in our room, was the design that finally spoke to me.

palms

I wanted my tattoo to mean something, to remind me of all that is good and important in my life. Our trips to Couples have given us the time to leave the world behind and reconnect with each other and renew the love we share. And it never hurts that that place is in PARADISE! Now, every time I look at it, I think of that love and that beautiful place. Happy happy!

Tom, I think that is the best depiction of the twisted palms tattoo that I have seen on a guy. Great job!

My hubby and I are planning on doing the twisted palms tattoo with our wedding date on it; it would mean alot to us too since we were married on the beach at CN last year. We've had to put the tattoo on hold temporarily due to medical issues, but will be getting it done probably in the next month or so. Your's looks awesome!

Nice--It makes me wish we could turn back time to this past June. Instead of a tattoo for my 40th--I ended up with bi-focals!

Thanks all! I thought he did a real good job on it.

Damn, Chatt! Bifocals? Some birthday present, like getting socks for christmas! We're heading back down to CN in the end of May, couldn't get the last week of June this year, you guys going again?

I was finally going to get my twisted palms tattoo this fall, but just recently found out that I am pregnant so I will have to put if off a little while longer! All for good reason though ; )

While we would LOVE to go next year, we are planning on waiting until the next year. AT least it is something to look forward to! Plus, it will be our 20th anniversary.

Congratulations Jaclyn! This is a very exciting time for the two of you. We wish you the best.

Just seeing your name and Tomnlori's name makes me think of our wonderful dessert at the repeater's dinner. YUM!

I wish I had a picture to post of my 4 girlfriends and I with our twisted palms tattoo's located in various locations. We also took the design from the menu. They really are lovely! I always adamantly stated that I did not EVER want a tattoo. Peer pressure got the best of me (3 of the girls got theirs for turning 40) but I don't regret it. CN has significant meaning to me and my husband and the artist colored the tats beautifully. Can't wait to show it off for the first time at CN this December (along with 3 of the other girls)!

Congrats Jaclyn!! Gotta admit that's a good reason to wait on the ink!

Chatt: This will be our 15th anniversary this year, and then the Lori wants to wait til our 20th to go again! I'm not sure I can live that long! But I also have plenty of time to work on her!

MMMMM.....that dessert was amazing!

Angieh: Oh, come on, don't tease us! PRETTY PLEASE, get a photo of your and your friends' tattoos to post here. What a cool thing, for the 5 of you to bond in this way. And yet, you're right; it is a highly personal thing with extra meaning to the wearer.
