1. They think outside the box

Tattoos are often original ideas that are born from the experiences of the individual. They’re an artistic representation of who that person is and what’s important to them.

2. They’re appreciators of art

They love it enough to be the canvas.

3. They’re adventurous

If a three hour or more sitting doesn’t scare them, they’re sure to be down for anything.

4. They’re not afraid to be themselves

They don’t care about what other people think of their tattoos. My personal mantra is “I didn’t get it for you, I got it for me”

5. They’re not afraid to take risks

No matter how much research is done before getting a tattoo, it still comes down to putting all your faith into the artist; trusting them with the blank canvas that is your skin.

6. They don’t care about societal conventions

Tattooed people cast aside the negative stigma associated with tattoos; just because society says they shouldn’t be getting tattoos doesn’t mean they’re going to listen.

7. They’re not afraid of commitment

Getting a tattoo means committing to having that piece of art on your body for life. A tattoo is the only thing you take with you to the grave (aside from your secrets).

8. They wear their heart on their sleeve

They’re not scared of being vulnerable – they aren’t afraid to show the world what they are passionate about.

9. They’re proud of their past

And they tell their story through their tattoos.

10. They’re sentimental

People often get tattoos as a way to commemorate a special memory, or as a tribute to a loved one.

11. They’re collaborative

12. They’re super attractive

Steven and Glory Nelms have been together for 3 years and have a young son named Ezra. They decided that Gloria would become a housewife as it made more sense financially but when Stephan wrote a blog post about how he “couldn’t afford a wife” it went viral on social media. And once you read what he wrote, it’s not hard to see why.

“With childcare costs it would’ve been a wash with her income at best. So we decided that she would stay home as long as it made sense,” Steven said.

“I’ve had this thought in my head for a while now. I’ve been thinking that I can’t afford for my wife to be a stay-at-home mom.”

“My wife stays home and takes care of our son every single day. She changes his diapers, feeds him, plays with him, puts him down for his nap, and comforts him when he’s upset. And that’s just the bare minimum.”

“Yes, my wife is my son’s mother and it is a natural result of being a parent to love and care for your own child, there is also a very quantifiable dollar amount that can be attributed to the services rendered.”

Based on personal research, this is what Steven feels is the cost of everything his wife does:

National average weekly salary for a full-time nanny: $705, or $36,660 a year

Cleaning service: $50 to $100 per visit once a week, or $5,200 a year

Personal shopper (running errands like groceries, etc.): $65 per hour at 4 hours a week, or $13,520 a year

Chef: $240 a week, or $12,480 a year

Financial assistant (budgeting, paying the bills, etc.): $15 an hour at 5 hours a week, or $3,900 a year

Professional interactions (business dinners, etc.): $75 per hour at 4 hours per dinner 3 times a year, or $900 a year

Laundry: $25 a week, or $1,300 a year

“That’s an annual salary of $73,960. Looking objectively at an almost insultingly conservative average of the services rendered, I cannot afford my wife.”

“The truth is, I’m ashamed of any time I’ve ever made her feel guilty or humored when she’s purchased something for herself. I’m ashamed that she has ever felt like she doesn’t have just as much right to our income as I do.”

“She loves me, loves our son, and loves our family, so obviously she isn’t doing any of those things for a paycheck or even for recognition. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to know that as a stay-at-home mom her appraised salary is nearly double my actual income.”

OK, this makes sense. I would probably quit, too, if I had to wear crazy flowing dresses in the wind all the time.
