No, it didn't hurt. When you are devoted to something, when you love something deep down in your soul, it doesn't hurt. These things do not hurt those who are brave enough to experience them. This is my second tattoo. After Gramma passed away, Marlena and I wanted to do something in her honor, something that would show the world how much this woman meant to us.
Some people write symphonies for lost loved ones, others build monuments.
We, we got matching tattoos. It graces my left upper arm, and is matched on Marlena's left arm. My other tattoo circles my right bicep. A ring of wolves in black ink. I got this when I was eighteen, and no, it didn't hurt either.
