Brain Dump: Tattoos.
Personal statements that may or may not have meaning.
Why do people feel the need to judge you on the way you choose to present yourself? If I’m willing to permanently put something on my body I obviously like it. Whether it has thoughtful meaning or not — tattoos can say so much about a person.
Depending on the era you were born in, you probably strongly believe this as well. Though, I do get some very weird and disbelieving looks when I have to explain my Harry Potter Expecto Patronum tattoo.
- No, it doesn’t make me a witch
- Yes, I still feel strongly about my religious beliefs
- No, I’m not going to explain it again.
Thus, bringing us to my new tattoo. My beloved books. They’re my life, it’s what I’m basing my whole career around. There should be no question that this isn’t a tattoo that totally fits my personality. Maybe each specific book doesn’t have meaning, but as a whole it means so much to me! I literally can’t stop looking at it.
Urban Dictionary defines a tattoo as “A mark on a person that generally condems them to a life of crime, the more tattoos one has the higher the chance of a life filled with jails and institutions.”
As you can see folks, I’m already dwindling that road with a whopping 4 tattoos. Next I’ll shave my head and pierce my eyebrow.
Until next time, brain dump.
