SHOW ME YOUR TATS

Y'know, your tattoos? I know you've got 'em.

In a minor flurry of rebellion, I went out and got a little one, recently. My parents were vaguely annoyed, but I actually didn't get the gut-wrenching reaction I had originally hoped for. Obviously I need a large snake-and-skull combination wrapping around my entire arm.

So, if you have a tattoo, post a picture of it. I will post a picture of mine ASAP, as soon as it looks a bit prettier (it's breaking out because I'm putting so much lotion on it).

How ya doing, buddy?

Sass: I like it!!!

And wow, nice to know that picking at the scab really does that. I've been extremely careful with mine, because I don't really want to have to go back and get it fixed... If that's even possible.

When you get more, you must let us know! And hmm, that's a nice way to celebrate your 18th birthday. I think my parents woulda killed me back then.

Mine is also loaded with sentiment. Sort of. I got it on my ex's birthday because I know he HATES tattoos, and I'm trying very hard to get over him (he got over me ages ago, and we never speak). I'd been doodling a lot around that time (a few weeks ago?), and what came up most were little pictures of birds with the words "flying after God." So I got a bird.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You sound like me a few years ago. Not 1000% perfect, eh? Just... what, 988%?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Do you have any other tattoos, Ence? I would think you would... (Are you the one who told me you had one on your pelvis, or was that Deni?)

Also, I think the answer of where to put it is obvious: YOUR BUTT.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm definitely a huge wuss when it comes to pain, and I handled it quite well--didn't cry or anything. I mean, I flinched and stuff, but it REALLY wasn't that bad, and it took about 5 minutes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

BTW, the reason that I haven't posted a picture of mine yet is that it is strangely attracting zits... I'm not sure why. I was thinking that maybe putting lotion on it 2x per day was contributing to that? I don't have much acne on my back, generally... And certainly not all in one spot.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ok ok, are ya ready???

It's very small and simple; remember, I'm an sXe kid...

Spoiler:

FELIPE NO

I'm aware. Not sure why it has to be a dove, exactly... People have said that, though. One day I might get it filled in blue. It being a dove doesn't bother me, though. It's also a symbol of love, I think.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, I wouldn't particularly be offended if people took it as a Christian symbol. I was raised in a very conservative/highly religious environment. I am a bit ambivalent with regards to religion, the church, and God, but I hope to find the answers I seek.

The original idea actually came from a doodle of a bluebird with the words "flying after God" written over it. I'm looking for Him... Where did He go?

So see, it works.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I would just like to say that it's amusing to see people casually addressing someone as "Harlot."

Y'know, I thought about getting my lip pierced, until my brother pointed out that doing this would drastically shrink my pool of eligible boyfriends. I realized, with much sadness, that he was right.

Maybe this should be a piercing thread, too?
