My husband likes to tell everyone that, when it comes to me, he wears his heart on his sleeve.
And, although it may not actually be a sleeve, technically he’s right. During the seventeen years we’ve been married, he has had a new tattoo made each anniversary, as a monument to our marriage.
He started with little heart tattoos on the back of his hands, then hearts on his biceps. Eventually he moved on to tattoos made from photos and mythical creatures. He has tiny dates, names, and roses in various places.
Most of the tattoos are tiny and have to be pointed out but he still has a lot of fun at each anniversary party, showing off his latest and greatest and saying, once again, that he is happy to wear his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his wife
