i'm sure it's actually true.
the rest all went for some tribal or chinese character tattoos. you know, the ones where you want to do something and you don't know what, so you go with that flow, cause at the end of the day it was just about getting a tatt.

And end up covered in nonsense because you just picked random characters off the internet without understanding them.
I have multiple tattoos. I have my kids names. I have my family's initials. I also have a dragon. And a horseshoe in the number 7. And my nickname with a crown on top. So roughly seven or eight tattoos. The one with my nickname I actually fell asleep while I was getting it done. My friend's a tattoo artist.

Well the dragon's rather random compared to the rest or is there a meaning there as well?

Weirdly enough, I'm not afraid of the needle, but I've never wanted anything permanent inked. I genuinely can't think of anything that I'd want tatooed. There are writers and artists like Blake who are part of me always, but making them part of my body seems weird to me.

If your friends appeared on TV would it more likely be (a) Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away!, or, (b) Last Night of the Proms?
A tattoo is a solemn pact with the angel of mediocrity.
Unless you're a soldier, sailor, Jewish-German, or member of an outlaw motorcycle gang, a tattoo is just something that screams "aspiring suburban dad."
Sorry to be so blunt but this is a trigger topic for me.

Seriously, though, I actually find tattoos physically repulsive. I've done some journal reading on this and it's apparently not uncommon; many people subconsciously process them as skin deformities. Like I can't view them as augmentation but see them as an extension of the natural body so react to a person with tattoos in the same way I would to a person with a serious skin disorder like Vitiligo. Honestly, I find even acne to be completely disgusting and tattoos are 100X more obvious than a spotty adolescent.
You know what is really bad? A fat man with tattoos on his calves. Nothing looks more ridiculous. (Well maybe someone over the age of 15 who wears shorts as casual wear, generally.)

STFU!
I bet you have small, delicate hands that have never seen hard labor. Have you ever played contact sports when you were kid? Did Mom force you to wear a helmet when you rode your bike with training wheels when you were still 17 years old?
