“Two Faces, One Story”

Daily writing prompt
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

I’ve never really thought about getting a tattoo.

Right now I’m sitting in front of the TV watching a podcast about UFOs, drinking coffee, half awake — and somehow this question popped up: What tattoo would I get?

Honestly, I’ve never given it much thought before.

But if I had to pick one, I think it would be something about my family.

I imagine a tattoo where my grandmother’s face slowly melts into my mother’s face — almost like one image transforming into the other.

Not perfectly blended.

More like a glitch.

Like the tattoo is shifting between the two generations.

One face becoming the other.

I think that would look powerful on my right arm.

A reminder that we don’t just come from somewhere — we carry pieces of those people forward.

That’s probably the closest thing I’ve ever had to a tattoo idea.

Now I’m going to finish my coffee.
