The essence of Ink Iv'e never wrote anything about tattooe's and ive negleted that so here is my little essay. Getting that first Tattoo is so exciting, but also nail biting, and indeed i may say quite unpleasant, like cold steel which burns like hell, a good saying from the Tattoo parlor in Bicester, England. Tattoos for me are not only skin deep, they are truly a part of your soul, or i like to call it inner spirit. Beauty isn't only skin deep you know. I envy people with tattoos, not because im competitive, and even though i already have seven of my own, i guess it comes to setting the limit, even when there arent any lolol. when i see people with beautiful Tattoos i think to myself i need to get another one, i need to beautify myself more. In my mind i set limits on how many i would get, but over the course of time i extended those limits, and i tell myself i dont need anymore becuase truly i dont, unless i want to be the next Tattooed lady, i think not!!!! But in the back of my mind i wish i could get more to keep adding to the beauty of the skin, to put my spirituality onto my outside body. In essence i dont need to, but they get obbsesive you can never stop with one, well in my case seven, but i shall not cross that boundry i set for myself. Ohhh how i hate boundries!! Anyway ever since i discovered the ultimate beauty of the Goddess may i say wicca, i wanted to add that to myself, not to show off or exclaim to the world, but ive always had a low self complex on the outside, i guess you can say i am moderatly confident from the neck up, but from the neck down im not, but thank the Godd/ess im getting there, to the shape i truly want to be for myself alone, and for nonone elsse. Being completley satisfied with ones self means felling good within and without, the within part is a definatly good, and there perfectly.I owe every breath every day,night and joy i show others to the Goddess and her consort. To state what i feel as many have said it strains to put it into words, Im finally complete, even though i bug myself and say im not sometimes, that old stupid self doubt!! Its truly a human flaw to doubt ourselves sometimes, and quite natural. Every tattoo i have is representation of who i am, what i like. Many show the the beauty of nature. Have you ever seen ivy, its wonderful, the way it climbs up those little cottages, reaching for the light no matter what, thats what i do, plus in the way its forming it's own protective barrier. Obvioulsy nature can be destructive and i have respect for that, but i choose to signify its beauty on myself. I also have a tribal tattoo as we all need to aknoledge that we were once primitive. We havent really changed much from our ancestors only our technology has, and the destruction of our earth which we are stupid enough to ignore. I also have this thing for pink elephants, they are wonderful animals, so intelligant and the gentle giants of the land, till someone pisses them off. Anyway if you choose to get a tattoo get it for you and noone else, let it become apart of, your inner spirit. If your getting it to show off, or for someone else then it os most liley you would regret having it later in life. When i see my friends with tattoo's, im happy for them but also healthily envy them, because i would sometimes like to take the journey of getting all my tattoos all over again from the beginning, ive been through the journey, and the question is will you!! |
