Get a tattoo to celebrate finishing yoga teacher training

I know y’all are wondering: If she finished the 200-hour training last November, when’s she ever gonna get that tattoo?

Well, my daughter and I took the 200-hour training together, and the plan always has been that we would go get tattoos together to celebrate the end of the training. But somehow we haven’t quite gotten around to it. In fact, this goal had gone cold for me.

However, Sunset magazine just published an article on the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle, which is not too far from the yoga studio where we trained and where I now teach. This tattoo parlor is run by two women, and their website looks really inviting. So we (my daughter and I) are re-committing to getting this done in the near future.

I’m thinking it will be a little vine of flowers twining along the outer edge of my foot. Something that would show in yoga class, but also something easily covered.
