to tattoo or not...to. give me some credit there.

So last night I had a dream. I won't explain all of it to you because whenever I do that it ends up sounding crazy even though it makes perfect sense to me. But all I'll say is that it involved drinking, a birthday, and back tattoos.
I was the one who recieved the back tattoos.

I have been constantly changing my views about tattoos over the past few years. At first I was against it, then I was curious, then I swore that I'd only get tribute tattoos (e.g. for someone who has died), but then realized that my skin is only getting worse from here on out, so I don't think anyone would appreciate looking at a stretched out or sagging tattoo. Plus, I change my mind all the time, so I might just grow to hate the future tattoo. Much like i did with my second ear piercings. (Did I really think I'd  have enough matching earrings to fill all four holes?)

Well, from what I remember, my dream tattoos involved a quote that I couldn't read on the upper left back, and a "Mad Luck" tattoo with a four-leaf clover underneath it on my mid-lower back on the right. Also, I think I got a name on my left rib cage, but it was small and I couldn't read it when I was looking in the dream mirror. They were nicely done, and they didn't hurt at all, but that's not the point. I remember staring into the mirror and thinking "what have I done?"
I could be grasping at straws, but I think that dream meant I shouldn't get one. Or that I really don't want one.
Maybe they're not for me. I do like certain tattoos I've seen over the years, particularly on guys. On a guy, certain well placed tattoos are really hot. I said certain. I once worked with a kid that had his own tattoo gun and it just looked like he scribbled all over himself. Another girl I worked with got tattoos done for free, which looked like the body art I would inflict on my arm whenever I was bored in class. And that's there forever kids. Plus, girls tend to get the same tattoos: the dolphin on the ankle; the rose on the hip; a name/adjective on the lower back; angel wings on their back; stars on the back of their neck. It's all been done before ladies. *

My sister and I have an agreement that if one of us dies first, the other will have to get a tattoo of us, as an angel, doing jazz hands, perched on our right shoulder blade. Yes, we were sober when we decided this.

I approve of tattoos as long as they are not on your face or make you look like your constantly wearing sleeves or leggings. As for the tramp stamp, go for it ladies. It just makes it easier for the guys to seperate the easy kill from the herd.**



*Oh! and chinese symbols.

**to any tramp stampers out there that did not approve, I'll apologize, but only if you can prove me wrong.
