The New Tattoo
On Saturday I will be making my way to the tattoo parlor to get my 4th piece of art. I love my tattoo guy he is, by far the best. This one is a butterfly that I am putting on my back. However, it is apart of a bigger envisioned tattoo.
Everyone thinks that I am addicted to tattoos now or some kind of masochist. This is not the case. I have just found a pleasure in the beauty of the art, the pain however I could live without.
I know tattoos are the ‘it’ thing to do right now and everyone is finding themselves drawn to the parlor. All I say is don’t get anything that you will regret 15 years from now because they say tattoo removal puts the actual tattoo to shame. The pain is definitely not worth it. Besides why would you want something on your body that doesn’t mean anything to you or that will make you want to hide it from certain types of people.
Tattooing has been around for well over 2000 years. I think there is an emotional inclination behind it that draws people to them but also pushes some people away. Or makes them stereotype those of us that are drawn to the ink.
A tattoo is definitely not for the weak minded individual; it is for open-minded and free spirited people. I consider myself to be a free-spirit and I can say this because just 2-3 years ago I wasn’t one. When you make the change you realize it because new doors open up to you. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a lot of doors that need opening but damnit I’m well in front of a lot and i mean A LOT of people that I know.
So if you’re thinking about joining the clan please think long and hard before you make that decision. Or go get a piercing, lol, those can always be removed.
