tattoos

i don't have any tattoos. that isn't to say that i haven't thought about it! i even seriously considered getting one for my 35th birthday! and i very well may still do it! i do think that if you are going to get one, it should mean something to you (i mean, you will have it for the rest of your life)! maybe you got it for a loved one that died. maybe you got it for the birth of your child. that, to me, makes sense!

most people that i know (that have tattoos) have them in discreet places and/or they are small. if you have a butterfly on your ankle or a star on your shoulder blade, it looks cool now and when you are 80, you probably won't be wearing clothes that show it off.

but then there are other people that must not expect to live more than about 5 years! why on God's green earth would you tattoo your neck? or more especially YOUR FACE?!? a face tattoo says "i've gone as far as i want to go in society...in fact, i think i want to take a few steps back"! okay, mike tyson can sort of get away with it because he's rich, famous and weird but the guy that works at my local target, really should have thought a little more before he got his multiple face tattoos!
