I've managed to avoid tattoos so far.
My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story.
Tattoos...are the stories in your heart, written on your skin.
My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist.
Get whatever tattoos you want, just make sure they mean something at least.
My mom actually took me to get my first tattoo when I was 15. She highly regrets that choice now, as I have a lot more.
I have over seventy tattoos.
I think I have enough tattoos for now. If I get any others, I'll probably do my kids initials.
I must say, I am trying to live my life with a sharpie marker approach. You can't erase the strokes you've made, but each step is much bolder and more deliberate.
All my tattoos except my first were not planned. I would just go into the shop late at night with friends and ask for something on the spot. My first is my parents' wedding date. I thought it would soften the blow of getting a tattoo.
All my tattoos have been spur-of-the-moment ones and not planned.
