Tatted Up

I never could go through with getting a tattoo. It was a combination of the anticipated throbbing from sharp needles and the indecisiveness of choosing what exactly I wanted on my body permanently. I didn’t want the normal butterflies on the lower stomach, the stars on the inside ankle, my name in fancy script, nor the Chinese characters above the tailbone…who knows what those characters really mean. I wanted something that stood apart from others.

My second year of undergrad, I had an idea to get a barcode on my neck with the words “Made in Heaven” underneath. Cute, huh? But when I was told, artists were prohibited to give anesthesia to customers during the process, that idea quickly left my mind.

As for the exceptional rich and famous, their creativity and painless temperaments, have somewhat inspired me. However, their inks on feet, necks, and even faces, are indeed unbearable for a novice like myself. But how do you feel about them?
