I think tattoos are cool. & maybe I'm the only one who thinks this but I love seeing tattoos on older men & women. Because there's always a great story behind them. Unlike my generation who goes to tattoo shops like they're Drive-thrus.
I don't have one as of yet. But at this moment I want a Hibiscus flower. My parents are from the Islands & that's their national flower...& I've always thought hibiscus' were breathe taking. But I'm a lil hesitant about getting it. I'm caramel complexioned & I'm not sure if the color will show through enough. & what's the point of getting THAT flower if you can't get the famous vibrant red & yellow.
My sister has it on her back & it looks HORRIBLE! Mainly because she let the tattoo artist pick the colors (pink & blue) (which is so stupid) & it looks cartoonish...sorta like the floating flowers in the sky in the Spongebob Squarepants show. Lol.
I also want Roman Numerals on my shoulder blade. I'm just waiting for a significant day or year so I can get it. I'm just hoping it doesn't come out like: MCIIIXIIVCIVVXXIIIVMM People will think I have some kind of alien/Matrix code on my back!!
Henna tattoos are also amazing. I love scripture verses. I think japanese writing is cool too...I don't know I'm into a lil of everything.
But I think the MAIN reason I haven't gotten a tattoo yet is because of my mother. She raised us as Christians and always told us " your body is God's temple, why would you deface it. Think of someone spray painting on a church... how disrespectul that is. And What is that called? Vandalism. Gettin a tattoo is exactly that."
...I don't know why but that has always stuck with me.
