Now Hiring! Please, only people with visible tattoos
So, the guy I am dating wanted to surprise me one day and decided that he would surprise me with us getting tattoos together. Now as we are not crazy people who get hammered off our asses and run out to a tattoo parlor and pick some random picture off a clip-art poster flip board, it's kind of hard to spring that kind of an idea. So he did end up making an appointment, with a tattoo artist we both know and trust, and who had already done my first tattoo, and of course, he ended up telling me about the idea, before just driving me to the tattoo shop. Thank goodness, because I might have freaked out. Luckily, I already knew what my next tattoo idea was going to be, I just hadn't firmly resolved myself to the idea of getting it. However, as I am a person who appreciates spontaneity and am constantly trying to find such a thing in my friends and love interests, I appreciated this show of it on his part, so I went ahead and got a tattoo! My first tattoo was on my back, so I didn't have a whole lot of time looking at it and thinking it over and trying to decide if I had done the right thing after it was all said and done, because aside from the fact that obviously I will always know in the back of my head that it is there, I rarely ever see it unless I am half naked and there are mirrors present. This also means that others don't see usually see it either haha. This new one however, it right on my wrist, in a very visible spot to myself as well as others. I got it 3 days ago, and I have already gone through a few stages of shock, joy, regret, resolve, pride, and a few other undiscernable emotions. Boiling down to my firm love of anything piratey though, I am proud of it, and I don't care what anybody else thinks. I think the only regrets I had anyways were from thinking of what other people might think of it, but that is not how a true pirate girl myself has every operated, so why start now? Someday all the disapproving old business people who look down upon us youngsters who are covered in tattoos will be gone and the world will be ruled by tattooed freaks. Then the ones that will be getting the dirty looks will be the ones without tattoos! haha, the world really is subjective to the norms of its time. Women who wore pants were once looked down upon, and now look where we are.
