Whilst standing in the tattoo parlour the other day, helping my Mum pick out a tattoo for her foot, I couldn't help thinking that this was the wrong way round!! There she was, laughing with the tattooist that I was very disapproving and what she does with her own body is her business. Yes, that is very true, but she turned 60 last year, surely, by now, she should have got over the whole 'body-art' phase and slipped into her pop socks and slippers phase??
(This was actually a draft post that I've just published from 2010 - Mum turned 70 last year and I wouldn't be surprised if she'd sneaked another tattoo in since then!)
