the whole thing started on a cold February night
when dessa just wanted to get laid

we went back to nick's
so she could get her fix
that night history was made.

So I sat in the basement
buried myself in a drawing
while some blues rhythms played.

Across from me
sat this dude casey
and his smile wouldn't fade

He had crappy tattoos
but...

It's so scary thinking about the future!

I am stressing myself out over something I feel really helpless to control. Planning for the future? I change my mind constantly, and love flying by the seat of my pants. I always think that love will find a way and love will guide me and that shit has gotten me well... here. So... I'm almost 25... don't...

I completely agree with your opinion about how society views tattoo's/tattoed people and I have always fought hard to prove to people that those of us who look different are just as smart and capable as the rest of the world. And in this battle I feel I have won over more people then not. In my line of work I have to deal with people of all types, but mostly those that do not look as we do, and through simple conversation, I believe I have won them over and changed their perspective of the tattooed. By being forced to talk to people with tattoo's, I believe it helps to change opinions and attitudes . It feels good to know that I make a difference within the tattoo community, one person at a time.

It can be done. Follow your dreams. If you want to work with kids and be proud of your tattoos and amazing body, then continue to fight for it. You wont be disappointed!

Cheers!

thanks, i totally hear what you are saying. I felt more discriminated against with dreads than I do with tattoos. Once people start talking to me, its easy to see I'm a really nice and trustworthy person. I think it helps change stereotypes. I personally judge people with tattoos ALL THE TIME, mostly cuz i think most people's tattoos suck and are dumb and I'm like... what were you thinking getting that on you, you must be dumb. But... since my tattoos are like... pretty and visually appealing and well done people accept them more. I don't know... i guess its always the best thing to just be yourself. Good things happen to good people.
