It is hard to find people who are truly happy. They may seem happy with that fake smile creased onto their face; or their not-so-convincing-positive words coming out their mouths.

Throughout the past four decades, tattoos have changed from being a sinful scar to a decorative piece of art. Although the older generation still feels as if ‘inking’ is a waste of money, other people find it enjoyable. For myself, I have found comfort and reassurance in tattoos. I’ve always had a passion in drawing, painting, or even sculpting objects into my own emotions. This type of therapy was more than an output of negative energy, but it was the best way to portray exactly ‘who I am’.

The Kiowa County Independent is thrilled to have Judy Bean write a book column called Mrs. Bean’s Bookshelf. Judy was kind enough to give us her biography so we could introduce her in the best way possible. Look for her first review in the August 3, 2016 edition of the INDY.
