Here is a book I thought my readers might enjoy...

"Mommy Has A Tattoo," is Phil Padwe's first book. A graphic designer and art director in New York City, Padwe was inspired to write a book for children on a subject that hadn't been approached at that level before.

    My mom has a tattoo on her upper arm that she had covered with another tattoo of a dark comic rain cloud with rain and lighting.  I thought it was so mysterious.  I have no idea what the topic was of the original tat underneath, but I could guess it was in regard to some guy other than my dad.  A hint to her earlier life.  One thing I learned from my mom is that you can start over.  Respawn with another life.  Her tattoo was a symbol of that.

    When I was in the Navy during the First Gulf War, I came close to getting one, but remarkably, I am one of the few sailors who didn't have a tattoo when he received his honorable discharge.  I know what you are thinking, and yes I am a wussy. -- But, no longer!  Thanks to Amazon.com where I can get a hold of one of these!  Yes it is a toy.  Yes it isn't permanent.  Yes I am still a wussy.  :)
