Tattoo by Kelli Clausen at Wingnut Tattoo & Piercing
St. Cloud MN, July 2013
Part of my family’s genealogy is Irish. Some of them lived in the Randall and Little Falls area (my great-great-grandparents are buried in the Cavalry Cemetery in Little Falls). I had thought about getting a tattoo for many years but was concerned that once I got it done, I’d come to not like the design.
Finally, at the age of 46, I decided it was time and chose a design based on that Irish genealogy. The reaction I got was two-fold: 1- It’s awesome!!!, or 2- You’re the last person I expected to get a tattoo! I’m glad I did it and that I waited until I was sure it was what I wanted, even if that meant waiting until my mid-40’s.
