Martyria (mar-tir’-i-a): Confirming something by referring to one’s own experience.
See this tattoo?
I got it when I turned 18. It didn’t hurt and the colors have lasted beautifully for 10 years: good old Sponge Bob. Now that I’m 40, he’s better than ever! I keep it covered at work, but other than that, Bob’s free to see the light of day.
If you get the right image, a tattoo tells a story and is good to look at too!
I think you should get one. You like layer cake–a layer cake with pink frosting would be cool!
Go for it! Take my word for it–you’ll be happy you did.
