I've always found tattoos a bit strange. Not that they bother me in any way - quite the contrary - I just could never really understand why someone would get a name, a quote, a picture, or whatever permanently inked on their skin.
So, I'm not into words or images from pop culture etc. (that's just my taste, I think people should get what they like regardless) but I have three larger pieces on me. All three are original artwork by the artist, I gave them an idea of the general imagery/vibe I was going for and then handed them the reins. Also chose someone who's dominant art style correlated with the style I wanted. I love art and it makes me happy to carry beautiful and original artwork with me wherever I go.
For decoration. I like them, and also like scars - bodies move through time and I like when our lives mark them, I guess.
Hey why don’t you wash your hands after going to the bathroom?
? I do. Only at home, it's sometimes before not after. Because hands are considerably more dirty than pussy. So if battling any hint of UTI, washing them before is recommended.
I got mine to be a reminder. Some things you don’t want to take for granted, and it’s nice to remember that.
You could also get one as a sort of badge of honor. Maybe you achieved a life milestone, or beat the odds and survived in someway.
There’s also a thought that you can’t take your body with you, so you might as well have some fun with it while you can. Tattoos can give you a way to express yourself, not unlike fashion, haircuts or anything else. Everything adds to someone’s persona.
They also make for great conversation starters!
