Mindful Tattoos

Is that a candy corn tattoo on your elbow? I get this question every now and again and it is one of my favorite questions, because the answer is, yes. I have a single candy corn tattooed on each of my elbows. I must really like candy corns, right? No, actually I don't. I'm not a big fan of the sweets and I don't even remember the last time I ate one.

So, why do I have a candy corn tattooed on each of my elbows? Well, what I usually say is, because I'm just that corny, but I always follow-up with the real reason. The real reason is because candy corns were one of my grandma's favorite candy's.

My grandma passed away September 16, 2009 and having her favorite candy tattooed on my elbows keeps her memory alive. I am a real big fan of my grandma and energy never dies. Every time someone asks me about the tats I get to share a little bit about my grandma and that puts a smile on my face and a bit of warmth in my heart.
