Bad Tattoos. Bad Decisions. And Advice on How To Avoid Both.

I have four tattoos.

All of which I wish I could carve completely off of my body with a very sharp knife.

Because they’re stupid. And I want them gone. Forever.

I was seventeen when I got my first one. It’s a heart with a bullet hole with blood running down it with (wait for it……….)

MY DAUGHTER’S NAME IN THE MIDDLE!

Pitiful. I know.

I won’t mention what the other three are, but do know that they are EQUALLY as stupid and I learned a valuable lesson in this whole experience, which was:

STOP PUTTING DUMB TATTOOS ON YOURSELF, TIPHANI!!!

I know.

You’re thinking…WTH are you talking about, Tiph?!?!?

But I have a point. My lesson to you is……….

Simple. What reckless decision are you going to make TODAY that’ll affect your future, permanently? Is it something you won’t be able to erase…or do over?

I challenge you today to treat each choice you make as if it’s a bullet ridden tattoo with blood running down it in which you’ll have to carry around on your arm for the rest of your life and I guarantee that you’ll make a wise decision:)

Ok, so here’s the thing:

I write for the Huffington Post and my most recent blogs are called-
The Dangers of Being Forever Young: An Ode to Every Child Killed Before Their Time.

How To Get Over Getting Screwed.

Read. Comment. Share.

And i thank you in advance.

Because I want you to believe in yourself.
HARDER than you ever thought possible.
