This weekend was great! I got drank and had a blast with my friend John and his friends. Sunday well...I was slightly hung over, I passed out as soon as I got home.
Next weekend John will finally be working on my sleeve and I'll be drinking again
On a crappy note my aunt and uncle came over today and of course they wanted to see the latest tattoo....
Upon explaining where the logo came from and why I got it I decided to show my Aunt Skin&Ink withTwwly as the cover model...big mistake. My Aunt went over each of her tattoos and said how could I find something "like that" attractive. what the hell!?
So then my aunt went as far as to say people with tattoos won't get respectable jobs and people won't hire me or befriend me just because of my tattoos. She even raised the question, what if you meet mr. right and he hates you because of your tattoos
I was pissed. I answered her with "First of all, nothing on my body will change who I am on the inside. I find tattoos as art, not everyone that gets them will regret them later in life. Mine tell a story, they are a part of ME. When I'm 60 I will still have my tattoos, they are in places where I can cover them if I really have to. If someone doesn't want to be with me because I have tattoos well then screw 'em! If someone doesn't want to hire me just because I have tattoos well I guess I wasn't meant to have that job. As far as people not wanting to be friends with me just because of my ink...I'm sure people could find other reasons to hate me.
My aunt said that I should think of my life as a long term journey instead of day to day living. Granted I do want to graduate from college and work in some type of psychology but I also don't want to live my life wishing I had done something. Atleast I can look back at my life thus far and say even through the mistakes I've made, I wouldn't change any of it. I knew my mom was disappointed when I got star on my arm but I have told her I won't go past my elbows.

then again, it is part of thier charm...that not everyone is cool enough to get one, and that they're still 'edgy' and dangerous....
