I love tattoos. I love the symbolic medium of tattoos. I love the creativity and thought that is translated in them. I love its expressiveness and mystery at the same time. I love the process and the pain of needles prickling your skin, specifically instilling meaning on skin that was born with a clean slate.
Aside from what I love about tattoos, I have a proclivity for disliking very generic ones that someone just got because it was cool to get it at the time.. or ones that just scream superficiality for the sake of just being ostentatious. I think tattoos should represent a combination of experience and significance/meaning to your own life; it is a visually constructed image of what you feel. An expression, in other words.
I currently have three: one down my legs, one on my right shoulder blade, and one on the left side of my ribs. I am sadly not in a financial position to get any more any time soon though. :sad:
I could just sit for hours scrolling down on fuckyeahtattoos.tumblr.com.
So what tattoos do you currently have, wish for, plan for, and what do you love about tattoos in general!? :crazy: Pictures of them would be a delight!
