tattoos are kind of a funny thing, aren't they? not ha-ha funny but funny in a way that they are something personal that we choose to to display in a public manner, that everyone seems to have an opinion about (good or bad) that we choose to permanently mark our skin with things and just overall, always kind of have me thinking...
it's true that tattoos are addicting and because of that, i currently have 9 and much to my parents dismay, i'm sure that number will only grow over the years. when i got my first tattoo at the age of 18, almost 8 years ago, i never really pictured myself being 'heavily tattooed' later on down the road and personally i still don't think i really am but i guess almost having 10 makes one to be considered heavily tattooed. i've always personally thought that tattoos were possibly the best way to express yourself and your individuality. i remember hearing once that "people get tattoos to be different but seeing as everyone has them now, they're really not that different at all" and i don't think they could be more wrong...a) i don't think people get tattoos to be 'different' and if they do, they're silly...and b) everyone who has tattoos (except if they've taken the idea from someone directly) wears it differently and that's what makes it unique to them. i could probably go on and on and on about tattoos, peoples opinions, etc etc but i won't. i guess what i'm getting to and am curious about is, what are your thoughts? love 'em, hate 'em, have 'em, regret 'em?
even though i am asking for opinions, please be respectful of the fact that i do have them so no extreme hate comments please...
