I have a friend who I met through World of Warcraft and in her family when a kid turns 18 they get a tattoo. It is all the exact same tattoo. In family photos from family reunions they all show thier tattoo. It's on the upper left arm for men and left back shoulder for women. They been doing this for as far back as the 1600s. Thier family were originally pirates it is pretty cool.
I just make sure to get to know people and always give people the benefit of the doubt. For instance when I was in Jr high there was this girl who ALWAYS dressed on the skimpy side yet still stayed in the school rules but never dated never had a boyfriend. None of the girls talked to her they thought she was a slut and boys well only would talk to her for one reason which she always shot them down instantly.
So one day my mom is late getting me and so is hers so I do say small chat stuff with her and I than ask what do her parents do for a living and she tells me they are in the circus. I am thinking she is kidding but no her parents are both in the circus her whole family is. During summer she is an acrobat same as her mom big sister oldest brother and even her grandmother was one. Her Dad works with bears and her younger brother works as a clown.
During school year she is living with her aunt who retired from the circus and so she and her younger brother to to school and practice.
She asked me not to tell everyone because at her last school the year before they found out and made fun of her for it. So I kept her secret and we became good friends till my family moved. I have tried finding her but it is really hard seeing as I can't remember her real name I just always called Jessie because her real name was Romania and hard for my dyslexic brain to figure out lol
Her name wasn't even close to Jessi I just gave her the nickname because she had hair like Jessie from save by the bell
Their tattoo is a simple circle with crossed arrows and above the arrows is the first letter of the family last name and on the left side of the arrows is the first letter of the name of the parent that was in the family (so if the mom is how they are related to the family they put thier mom's first letter to her name if it is the Dad than they put the Dad's) and right side they have a number which is the place of birth of their siblings. (So like since I am 3rd born if I was in the family it be a 3)
Under the arrows they put thier own names. All that in the circle. All in solid black. It looks simple but the tattoo design is really old.
