Tattoos ... love them or hate them.

I’ve always loved tattoos.If I ever got a desire to get one, I'd say to myself okay, take a year to think about it and if you still want it next year, go ahead and get it. One year? That’s short for something that will last a lifetime.

I’ve been thinking of getting one since I was 18, and not one design passed the one-year test. Every time, at the end of that year, I end up saying, “Ohhhhh! thank god you didn’t get that!!!”

A dolphin (at 18). Vines with the heart Chinese character hidden in the design (at 20). Nautical Stars (at 23). The phrase "Vi veri universum vivus vici"("By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe".) (at 25).

5 years later, a lotus and a wave design had both pass the one year mark. I ended up saying "Ohhh thank God i got them!!! "
Tatoos...they’re romantic, unreasonable, thoughtless and eternal all at the same time.
