Tattoed...

Honestly speaking, I did not understand the essence of tattoos until recently. It was not even in my interest to get one. And the more I disliked it when I watched a tv documentary on tattoos and saw that having it in your body means putting yourself in pain.

Actually, it was not until my uncle had a Tattoo of his wife's face on his chest that made me understand that there's more to tattoos than just the marks I see in a person's body. I thought it was only inked to make one different from the rest. Yes, I have been informed that there are people who cling to that idea. But like I said, hearing my uncle speak of the tattoo on his chest made me step back and look at things on a different light. He said, it was the best way he could keep the memory of my deceased aunt alive for as long as he lives. The tattoo became an expression of his undying love - and for some people, their tattoos have become an expression of their beliefs and the principles they uphold in their life. It made me see tattoos as beyond ink marks on the body.

And if I should have one, I want it placed on my upper right back. I am a lover of life, so I would probably want something that means happy in life. It is what I am, and it is what I want people to see even when I am not facing them. That would be fun. Thinking about it makes me wonder what would it really be like. I wonder what else would I want to express. I think I want something that means love and being feminine. Now my ideas are starting to come. I would want it to be in pink probably (lol!) since I will always be happy with that color. I just have to be emotionally and psychologically prepared to experience the pain that comes with it. But I saw a lot of women who had bigger tattoos. This means, if they can take the pain then I can probably take it too. Now there goes my spirit! Who knows, next week, I might have that tattoo on my shoulder.
