The Addiction to Tattoos

They say that tattoos are addicting, it’s something in the ink. I think I might have to agree because my first tattoo is quite small. I got it when I was only 20, if I recall correctly. My next tattoo is much more recent, I got the outline done in August and the coloring done in October. Generally, you want a new tattoo every couple years, for me I’m ready for my next tattoo in less then 6 months. And I don’t want just a tattoo I like BIG tattoos. Which can be bad because they can be seen as unprofessional. Personally, I don’t think they are but that’s how some people view them. They also automatically assume that you are some kind of criminal. Back in the day maybe that was the logic but now people get tattoos just for the art. I love my tattoos and I can’t wait to get my next one and then my one after that.

My Phoenix, is on my back and my arm. Well the full Phoenix is on my back and the tail is on my arm. I can’t lie it’s quite big but I think it’s very sexy. It looks great when I dress up and it compliments me so well. My first tattoo is a symbol that kind of looks like the Moschino emblem but it stands for strength and healing. It’s so little compared to my Phoenix but I’m glad because it’s on the back of my neck. I told my tattoo artist that he could do the rest of my back but it doesn’t look like that will happen because I don’t know what I can get that will be that big. So what I’ve decided is to get the lower back done on the side because I was told I can’t get a tramp stamp.
