Have you ever had an experience where your body and your brain just don't agree? 
I've been wanting a tattoo for a long, long time. I've been deciding what I want forever and I have a whole Pinterest board devoted to it. I finally decided and picked the size and coloring.  I had talked to that part of my conscience that thinks it is wrong and had told her to shove it. I even warned my BFF so it wouldn't come as a surprise. 
Yesterday was the day.  I got up and got ready and was really excited for it.  The husband and I drove out to a very reputable place where we had seen some good work come out of.  I was getting a little anxious on the drive but was mostly excited.  
We pulled up to the place and parked right in front. All of a sudden, I was terrified.  Tears started pouring out of my eyes and I couldn't get out of the car.  I couldn't explain why.  I want a tattoo.  I don't think the pain will be too excruciating. I just couldn't make myself do it.  I feel like the girl who cried wolf.   I will get one.  I just have to figure out what is making me such a baby. 
 
 
it's ok! i almost got a tattoo once too. in fact they had it all drawn out and everything. We had my rib cage all exposed discussing the best spot to place my tattoo. When suddenly I said... "I don't think I can do this".

And I never went back.
