Yes, it's true. I'm a tattoo virgin. I don't have any tattoos. So, why would I take the time to create a blog about them? In a nutshell: pure fascination. The whole concept is so intriguing to me. I know, tattoos are a very common thing, and it sounds like I just realized what they are. When I think about the process, though, it's crazy. A person is choosing to have an artist permanently draw an image on their body. From what I've seen, there are quite a few talented tattoo artists in the world. I've seen many human palettes with some truly amazing work to prove it. I have also seen some not so great tattoos, many being "at home" creations. What a mistake.
I think the thing that interests me the most is the stories behind tattoos. Every tattoo has one, even if it was just a drunken, spring break dare that will haunt you every time you look in the mirror. Or, it's the touching memorial to a lost loved one. Whatever the meaning, I'm excited to share these tales here. And who knows...maybe one day, I'll check off an item on my "bucket" list, and get one of my own.

I really want a tattoo but I can't think of one that I would want on me forever. I really like them on other people though.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is going to rock once you get us some pictures. Looking forward to future posts.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good subject, almost all tattoos have a good story attached to them. I hope you include pictures of the tattoos in here!
ReplyDeleteReally excited to follow this blog over the semester, tattoos are very big part of my life.
ReplyDeletei would have to agree with everyone else and say that once you have pictures up on here it will add so much! this blog is another great idea.
ReplyDeleteit would also be cool if you could change your template to something that has something tribal and tattoo-looking...ya know what i mean? :)
I have 4 of them, all kinda blended in to one. It's been years since I had anything done. It's addictive though, I want more.
