And to answer your question, I did in fact get a tattoo at the same time, it is not a symbol or mark that shows my devotion to my sub, but it is a symbol of my devotion to my sub. About 10 years ago, I was in a very serious, and what at the time appeared to be a permanent relationship with another submissive. This submissive went out one day and came back with a tattoo of my name with an apostrophe S, (JEFFREY'S) on her shoulderblade. I was taken by surprise and was actually very mad at her making this decision without consulting me. After 7 years of this same relationship, and after a period of shakiness, I thought strongly enough about this woman, and our relationship, that I decided to have a lower case "t" put on my right arm. I should have known this was a mistake because I had my first of 5 heart attacks the day after the tattoo! That relationship ended over 3 years ago, and I have regretted that tattoo every day. It was a reminder of that bad time in my life, and it was viewed by me everytime I looked in the mirror. (well, with my shirt off!) Due to my health, I was never really able to do anything about this. My sub lays next to me on my right side, it bothered me that she had to look at it everyday, she never made a comment, and being the respectful sub that she is, I knew I would never hear anything from her, but it bothered me. When I decided to take her and put my mark on her, she had no idea that I had planned on getting a new tattoo, and I think she may have even been concerned because of my health, in getting one. After she was done, I told her that I was also getting a tattoo, I had the "T" made into a star. It is a huge honking star, but it is no longer a symbol of what was, but what will be. When discussing with the tattoo artist my options, he first suggested covering it with a heart, and this was never a choice because of the symbolism that may carry. So, understand, my mark on my sub has strong meanings, and I take this and all responsibilities involving my sub very seriously! In the photo of carolyn's mark, you will notice it is on the nape of her neck. At my request, carolyn wears her hair down and keeps it at a longer length, that I prefer. No one would even know of this mark, except the 2 people that it means something to. I chose to share it with all of you for the reasons posted elsewhere on this thread. Timo, Thanks for the kind words, I am sorry we do not live closer, we would be wonderful friends to each other! I wish you the same luck that I have with carolyn, and I hope that we can also have as much luck as you do with beth! [image]local://upfiles/7331/4A7896921EFD48C197374E6FC96A818E.jpg[/image]
