I remember asking her how she was going to feel someday when she got "old" (I was thinking 50 at the time) and had the daily reminder of her twenty-something-self staring at her in the mirror. She declared her forever- love of her permanent ink. Now in our 50's, her feathers and butterflies look as ridiculous as much of our behavior did back then. Buy art is what I say! It changes as we do, and can be moved around on a whim, and can be given away when we no longer like it.........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048229334858323343.post-40737073342070598102012-04-05T01:04:32.380-04:002012-04-05T01:04:32.380-04:00Great advice about not getting a small tat on a la...Great advice about not getting a small tat on a large space unless you're sure you're not going to want another one there later. (And it makes a guy look like a wimp). And the thing about flowery/butterfly tats coming into age when daggers through skulls were once the mainstay is a good point too.

I dont talk about my half sleeve or show it off, because it will always be a for me - a reminder of my brother that i was very close to growing up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048229334858323343.post-55570714803464470302012-01-18T12:27:47.371-05:002012-01-18T12:27:47.371-05:00Thanks, Julie for such a thought provoking article...Thanks, Julie for such a thought provoking article. My 18-year old granddaughter is seriously considering a whole-back tattoo. I'd like for her to wait at least until she's 25 when her frontal lobe is comeletely developed.

I wish it was standard reading for everyone who walks into a tattoo shop. Could you make it enjoyable enough for yourself to write a post on the positive aspects of getting and living with a tattoo? I would really enjoy that and I KNOW you have some very good points to make from that angle. My only squabble to your abstract debate would be the discussion of "macho" tattoos on women. To say "squabble" is silly of me since I think your post was written mostly in jest (though much of it ends up being stellar advice). I just wanted to say that I love my "macho", skate punk-ish tattoo. It's very large and resides on my lower right leg. It's kind of a "day of the dead" style skull with wings, flying over a gold crown - the crown rests on a big red rose. To me it's actually fairly genderless because it represents my personality so well. I'm a woman with particular tastes that might seem unorthodox - but that's society's constructs not mine. I always think my tattoo makes an aesthetically pleasing contrast with a dress or skirt. I also know your tattoos well and have always thought your sleeve tattoos (correct term?) look particularly beautiful on you. <BR/><BR/>Somewhat off topic but still on the subject of tattoos -I remember you once told me that regret was part of the process of living with a tattoo. Would you be willing to write a bit about that (as I don't think my memory of what you said does justice to the concept you were trying to explain)?Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282944218344493838noreply@blogger.com
