What is everyone's deal?

Tattoos are pretty damn cool. Yes, it's obvious that my statement would warrant some kind of convincing explanation, but look at it from a simplistic point-of-view. It is on your body for the rest of your life, yes.

For women, DO NOT get a butterfly, or some kind of tribal symbol on your lower back. You DO NOT belong to a tribe, and butterflies are not that cute on a summer day.

Men, avoid Chinese typography and likewise on the tribal bands across your skinny or too buff biceps. You don't read or write in ancient Chinese nor do you belong to the barbwire clan. Get real.

It really comes down to something that just "gets" you. Something that speaks to you. Fashion is something that "gets" you. Your job is something that "gets" you. Tattoos are something that "get" you. Don't get caught up in the fact that the tattoo will be on your body FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. If you're a religious person, the idea of committing any sin obviously never phased people out of an eternity in hell as a price for a short life in paradise on earth. Fuck. Just live your life.


And get a tattoo. I got ideas. Get at me. Here's my new baby, waiting for her partner (that will come later this week).
