Hi folks!! As @rambo @missy and @lyxzen already know, I decided to write some old homeworks, because I liked them too much and really wanted to share them with you!
Today I decided to write this one, about my first tattoo, my dragon! The pic is from the year 2012 (shall I get back to short hair? Leave me your opinions!) and I did it in the year 2006, when I was 18, it is a present from my mom, because I always wanted a dragon tattoo, since when I was 11.
Why the dragon? Because I think it's a symbol of wisdom, ferocity, courage and strength, to me it represents the fierce beast that stands quiet until someone decides to annoy it, the grandpa who can teach you about life and how to behave, the protection of a father... To me it represents everything that I want to become when I'll grow up.
I got it when I was 18 because my mom always told me that, if I would get to that age and still want that tattoo, than I would have been an adult and I would have been able to do it.
When I was 18 I was in a relationship with a boy who was very jealous and possessive to me, and he didn't want me to get tattooed because he thinks that "your skin is not a paper to draw". I thought I loved him, even if now I realize that that was not love, but the skin is mine, the life is mine and the decision is mine too, so I went to the tattoo studio with my mom and booked the date: 20 December 2006
I didn't tell it to anyone but my parents and my (at those times) best friend, who went with me for the tattoo. I didn't tell it to my (ex) boyfriend, and when he saw it he found it exciting... I broke with him one month later... xD
To me this tattoo means that I will always own my life and no one will ever be so important to me to make me do what I don't want to do, it means that I'll never be an object that belongs to someone else, it means that I will always make my choices by my own and I will always drive my life as I want, nobody can manipulate me or possess my mind and/or my body.
To me this tattoo means that my life is only mine.
And when I feel lost, or confused, or I see no light in the tunnel, or I feel trapped in a relationship, I look at it and remind who I am, it helps me to come back to myself and go on with my beautiful life.
"It's only a big, black, stylized dragon." someone could say, but to me it means ME.
