The Ironies of Life and Living - F


F decided to get a small little tattoo on her hand while on holiday in India years ago. It was barely an inch long and it was done at the base of her thumb. When she returned to her homeland, she was shocked that her relatives, especially her aunt, were up in arms about the little tattoo. She felt that it would not have seemed so bad even if she had committed a murder. She was told by her aunt that she had violated God’s gift and that getting a tattoo was the devil’s work. She glanced at her tattoo. It was a small little cross, a reminder that Christ had died for us. Was this the devil’s work? Today, she happened to come across her aunt’s son’s profile on Facebook and asked to be added to his list of friends. He had opened a tattoo shop. His own body, arms and legs had tattoos of different designs on them. This goes to show that ‘what goes around, comes around’.
