I have never been able to think if anything I wanted tattooed on my body for the rest of my life. Maybe "Exit Only" across my ass. However, my late wife and I have fed the seasonal hummingbirds our whole life together. As of two days before she passed we hadn't yet seen our first hummer of the season. Being that I believe that our spirit remains on this earth and we come back as part of the natural world, I told her the day before she died that she would come back to me as the first hummingbird I would see every spring. Although she was unable to speak at the time I knew she could hear me. She died that night. The next morning when I opened the drapes, there was the first hummer of the season at our feeder. And it was a female. She has been back several times a day since. I believe it's her. So as a homage to her and my love for her, I had a hummingbird tattooed over my heart as a lasting reminder that she is always in my heart. It's the only tattoo I will ever have.
sorry for the old man body..
