Hi all,
Recently the want for a tattoo has risen in me again and it gave me some time to take stock as to why. The idea of wanting to know what I feels like is still there but I think I want it because it solidifies and makes permanent a moment/idea/feeling that I want to grab hold of. This is my life and the choices are with me for good and I suppose it’s a manifestation of my conviction in those choices.
I am finally very happy in life. I noted that I bought a noogleberry and am back to continue my nbe having stopped because life had got in the way. well life wasn't in the way it just got good to be honest. I was loving myself, I had met some new, wonderful people and I was having a bloody good time. It was in this period I decided I wanted one again. I hadn’t really stopped wanting it I just didn’t think about it.
I have drawn what I want myself so its my design and I would have anything less, it is however a little big I think I want something smaller so I will need to remove some detail. But in a way what it is doesn’t really matter its about being marked and just doing it.
What I want is an arts and crafts bird about to land on a branch. Its heavily stylised and patterned. And I want it on my ribs to go under my bra band and be no wider than it so to see it I would have to take my bra off. This is because I don’t want the world to know have it, its for me and me alone. Is about 10-11cm tall and 8-9cm wide (so a little too big at the mo). And I would like some colour but not bright like I would like some shading and some browns.
If I were to do the image search Wahaika, I think the conclusion would be that the woman was beautiful before the tattoo. The tattoo has not done anything to help. But its not really about that for me.
I think its wholly subjective so this debate will never conclude. We can share ideas, and some of what has been said has again made me think but ultimately no one is going to win here. Some people are going to love and some are going to hate. There are tattoos which I think are just a waste I do question why someone would want that on their body and occasionally you see something daft in a really visible place, you ask someone what its about and the response is “uuuhhh I dunno I jus felt like it ya know?” And then I’m all in the camp of you’re an idiot (this has actually happened, in a bar someone had a sheep doing a poo on their wrist and it was in a cartoon fashion, On the flip side same bar, different time, a girl had the most exquisite flower/vine up her arm and I talked to her about it and the response was she just thought it was beautiful). that’s not to say you need to justify it with an ground braking reason just have some passion for what you have done its an art. I think if you know why your doing it, it's ok.
I also suppose my argument is floored because I approved of the thing that was beautiful and not the cartoon. Its partly to do with if that guy put on a shirt and tried to look the business he cant because he cant hide it no matter what he does. The girls was something that could be hidden if needed secondly one looked more serious and so I accept it more. This raises questions about if you get it you should show it why would you want to hide it etc. I believe there is a time and a place for everything including tattoos and sometimes its not appropriate, they usually tally with events at which you would show a lot of skin or not.
but the debate continues - roll on.
