Last week I entered these tattoos in @papa-pepper's Tattoo Story Contest.
I have a number of tattoos. Some planned some impulsive. I also have a couple planned in the near future, which I am looking forward to sharing.
I'm really excited to be taking over the running of this competition from next week!
Every tattoo has a story.
Whether incredibly meaningful, or incredibly regretful, once inked they are with us forever.
Enter a story in this week's competition and give it's founder @papa-pepper a memorable last week of hosting!
By contributing our stories, it gives us the opportunity to share a private, and perhaps otherwise undisclosed aspect of our lives. Steemit allows for complete anonymity, and for disclosure of select aspects at user discretion. I enjoy the intrigue of this competition for this reason.
A snap shot of ink and it's story. Whether born of heart felt sentiment or a lost weekend, the story I believe remains with the canvas forever.
So far their are two entries. Who wants to give them some competition?

Entries close Saturday at Midnight (CST). If you don't get your entry in by this time, please join me when I take over next week.
I am but a tiny minnow. I would love to make this project work. Not because I aspire to make large amounts of steem or generate a huge following, but because I believe it is an interesting and worthy pursuit.
If you too are interested in this competition, it would be great to have assistance to get it out to more people.
Unlike Papa I have 34 followers (Which is 2 up from yesterday!) The fact that 34 people deem me worthy of following has pleased me greatly actually.
I'm having a great time exploring this platform, and am looking forward to sharing and learning more in the coming months and beyond.
NOTE TO @papa-pepper FOLLOWERS:
@girlbeforemirror will be taking over the TATTOO STORY CONTEST next week.
If you are following me for that reason, please follow her as well.
I think that she will be able to take this Contest up another notch, and that running the contest will be able to bless her to.
Those are the reasons that I have resteemed this post!

Wait how does it work? Do we comment with tattoos or post an article? Either way, here is my tiny little contribution, I got this tattoo in Uganda. I lived in the bush there for half a year, working for a church plant. As you would expect, the vast need of the people there impacted me greatly, but there was a sense of hope and upcoming after the devastation of the LRA, that trumped the heartbreak of poverty and drought. This tattoo commemorates that hope, GEN means hope in Luo, the tribal language in the region I lived. On top of it is an East African Crane, national animal of Uganda, so it sympolizes Uganda standing on Hope.
