I Was 34 Years Old and Seven Months Pregnant When I Decided to Cover My Entire Body in Tattoos. The Moment My Husband Saw Me, He Screamed, “Have You Lost Your Mind? You Didn’t Even Think About Our Baby!” My Mother-in-Law Told Me Never to Set Foot in Her House Again. But Neither of Them Had Any Idea Why I Had Really Done It…

“Emily, if you start getting tattoos, there won’t be any skin left!”

I would smile, but inside, his words hurt.

When I discovered I was pregnant, I cried tears of happiness.

But at the same time, I became afraid.

I imagined having a daughter who might one day stand in front of atime, I started crying.

For the first time in thirty-four years, I didn’t see the girl everyone had mocked.

I saw the woman I had dreamed of becoming when I was little.

But I had no idea how my family would react.

When I returned home, Michael was standing in the kitchen.

He looked at me and froze.

“Emily… what have you done?”
