first post; tattoos

If you were to ask me about tattoos, I absolutely adore them. I'm guilty to having a couple of my own. The only problem that I've come to find with them is the older generation.

They haven't learned to accept them like the new generations. One of those people being my mom & others being business managers. 

I guess I can't understand that in their day & age they were seen as something thugs do or drop outs which is still a very accurate statement. Yes, drug dealers, people in and out of jail, people who don't have anything going for them do get tattoos. BUT now we have people who get tattoos who are successful, who have loving families, who have never seen the world inside of a jail cell, or just average people. 

Tattoos in a deeper meaning to me is a way to express yourself. A way to make memories through your skin. It is true that people do have the ability to pick a dumb tattoo while they're younger but hell that was what they wanted at the time, they thought it was goofy or they're other buddy got it with them. You never know. For me tattoos are a lot more than just ink on your skin, they're a visual art representation of what that person is about or how they perseive something. 

I chose tattoos to blog about because I just got one today, shocker. Yes, I realize that is on my arm and yes some jobs don't accept tattoos but come on, again that's just the older no fun generation that thinks there is something to look down on with them. KJD actually is the initials of my friend that just passed, more into that just go to tomymoonchild.blogspot.com

I also have what appears to be a triangle but it's a delta sign with my own twist to the triangle. 

Oddly enough it means change and transform, I got this about a year ago and I can't say I haven't ever thought I shouldn't have gotten it. It means change and transform, who isn't always changing or transforming I mean come on. My whole life has been changing and transforming.  

I have two others, one on my other side (sunflower) and I have one on the side of my left hand (sun& a moon). 

My point is im in love with the tattoos I have and I don't think I look trashy or any of those things older people see in them. If you ever think of getting a tattoo and it has a legitimate reason behind it, do it, or if it's just art that you love, do it. ◡̈
