I 've been thinking about getting a tattoo for awhile now and today I finally did it!!! I got a star on my right foot (pictures below). The star has a bunch of different meanings behind it.
Reason 1. Stars stand for hope.
Reason 2. When I was in college and doing an internship I had a supervisor who gave me a star charm and said that star stands for Social Workers Take Action and Responsibility.
Reason 3. Josh and I have had a rough year and have been through a lot. After this most recent loss I kept thinking about a star as kind of a tribute to everything.
Reason 4. I love Texas.
So, I finally went today and got it done. Josh was there to hold my hand and he watched even though he hates needles. I didn't hurt near as bad as I was expecting. I'm pretty proud of myself for doing this. The thing I was most nervous about was not the pain or the fear of not liking it. I was more afraid of other people's reactions. I probably would have done it anyway, but I don't want a bunch of people I care about to disapprove.
I am really happy with how it looks - and I feel really cool. I've heard these are addictive and I'm not sure how that will go, but I'm excited about this experience.

Shiloh! It's amazing. I love it! And you...and the meaning behind it is so powerful...you will always have a story to tell. Love you! Thanks for the txt. :)
I'm impressed! Not just with the tatoo, which looks great, but that you actually got Josh to stay there with you. When is he going to schedule his?
Nice tatoo! I like that it has so many meanings, that makes it special.
Well,well, well!!! It looks like there is a trend developing in the Jones family. The star is cool !!
Be on the lookout for another member of the Jones family who just might get a tat before the summer is over.
Did my dad leave that last comment?
Josh

I noticed your tattoo on Sunday and meant to say something--I love it! I, too, have been thinking about getting a tattoo, but I am having a hard time coming up with what to get. Where did you go?
