I Am Into Tattoos
I'm trying to expand my experiences, soo...
I'm an avid tattoo lover, but didn't really start collecting until I was closer to 30. I had the obligatory first piece of lame flash and a little anklet, but that's it. I really wanted them, but I was worried too much about being judged by society...by my family (and boy did they!). The closer I got to 30, though, the more I realized this is my life and I only have one chance to live it the way I see fit.
And I want to live it bold and colorful!
I currently have a full sleeve (nearly completed) and a half sleeve. I've got sporadic pieces on other parts of my body: ankles, behind my ear, and on my back. I don't want to cover myself completely, but I do see a few more large pieces being added to my calves (when that big sum of money falls from the sky into my lap).
99% of my tattoos *do* actually have meaning. Most are accolades to positive living. I think I'm entering a stage now of just wanting ink because it's pretty, though -no huge thought or reason put into it.
It's been long established that tattoos are a form of cultural deviance to more or lesser degrees. I'm heavily tattooed and I know assumptions are made, but most would be wrong. I'm very down to earth and not nearly as cool as my tattoos might seem to make me. :P I'm a family woman, mom, and marginally talented in a number of things. I love the simple life, good drinks, good friends, and lots of laughs. I'm also a college student, finishing my sociology degree.
My husband did not initially love my tattoos. It's not really his "thing" per se, but over the years he's grown to like them. In fact, he got a couple of himself, but I'm not entirely convinced he doesn't regret them. He toys back and forth between wanting more or not. I think, honestly, he does because he knows I find them incredibly sexy. I love, and am drawn to, men with full sleeves -good guys with that bad boy look :) So cliche, no?
Anyway, in a very small nutshell, that's me.
Looking forward to meeting and growing with other tattoo lovers!
