2 days ago, I went to the tattoo parlor and got what I wanted. Some of you know that I have a son who has autism. I wanted something that is advocate but yet, prompting awareness. The tattoo I have now is what I wanted for myself because it is personal.

When I went in the parlor, I was making a request to have a color on each puzzle and the artist suggested that it would look better when the color blends (or fade) together outside of the lining to give it an enhanced look. At first, I was a bit reluctant because I wanted it inside the puzzle but then, the more I saw to it, I thought it would be even better to give it a definite meaning. So, I went for it. Sure enough, It looked much better than I had originally thought.

It was funny because before I had the tattoo, I thought it would have hurted a lot more. It didn't hurt that much at all. It only hurts when the artist put the black lining on me. The colors were just a breeze.

Autism is something that needs to be educated because 1 in 166 children are diagnosed with these condition. There is an unknown cause to what causes autism. There are dozens of theories as to why or what causes autism. With research and being aware of it, more of us would be educated about it.

The colorful puzzle is the symbol for Autism.

Anyway, Here's some pictures enclosed of my tattoo. I hope you guys like it as much as I do. ;)

Hey Jolie,

I like the new tat pretty cool.. I know this is a personal touch for you glad you can sport the symbol around . It looks like your ankle is this correct? How did your boys react when they saw the tattoo?
 
Awesome Tattoo! Now that you feel more connected to your older son by putting up the symbol in your ankle area and being proud of it. I love you so much! :hug:

Hey there - Thanks. Yes it is personal for me and yup, It's on my ankle. The boys hasn't seen it yet because I've kept it covered with the bandage around it to keep it moist with the A+D ointment in order to let the skin heal. I'll let you know what their reaction will be like when they see it for the first time.

Look beautiful tattoo. Perhaps I'm afraid so and have a tattoo for myself personally but still can't.. (chuckles)
