Don't get me wrong, there are still alot of people out there that are not fans (my mother included), I just find it interesting that most people from my generation has a tattoo (or multiple).
One of the questions I am asked by people who don't have a tattoo is"Why"? Why did I decide to put something permanently on my body?
Here's my answer: I believe tattoos are a way of expressing yourself. To me, they are beautiful works of art that are permanently on your body that you chose to be there. They are a reminder of where you have been and how much you have grown.
I have three tattoos. My first is a star on my lower back I got when I was 18. I do not have a picture of it on my computer right now but I will post one eventually. I just love stars! My mom's middle name is "Starr" and a girl had it on a movie I saw a long time ago.
My second one is a tiara on my ankle I got when I was 22 celebrating my new job. I feel that this one describes me perfectly. :) I mean, I DID have a fairy tale/princess wedding after all!
My third one is the word Breathe with three stars by it. I got this a few months ago. I was going through a really hard time and suffering from anxiety. It is to remind myself to take time for myself and just to "BREATHE". The three stars represent three very special people I have lost in my life.
I would like to have one or two more. The way I see it, you only live this life once and if this is something you want to do- go for it! Do your homework, find an artist you trust and a design you love and do it! Life's too short!
