I like the fact that it makes me feel unique... Because of what i've done to my body, i look and feel diffrent. Once you get one serious mod done... you just cant seem to stop.

There are numerous reasons:

  • I have always wanted tattoos - since I was a kid and would admire my dads tatts. 
  • They are beautiful and each one has a special story.
  • I feel like a unique individual - with artwork no one else has.
  • My tatts and piercings serve as a social filter - anyone who can't stand them does not need to be in my life.
  • But mostly,  they are an expression of who I am.

hmmmm.....i got my tattoos because i think they are beautiful, and by being on my skin they make me feel beautiful too. the unique thing is also a big part of it, i love knowing that i've got something to make me just that little bit more different to everyone else.

My first tattoo (ankle) was done by myself w/ one needle, ink and thread.  I was in a v. dark spot in life..... and was in a place that discouraged beauty.  I had wanted one for 10 years and there were several reasons for doing it.  It was v. symbolic of a life that was once v. niave but v. fun!  It made me feel v. pretty and well it was a big fuck you to the institution.  When I was in a position to go to someone that knew what they were doing... and they went over it w/ the gun, I LOVED it!  The second was a celebration of self.  I find that I have v. little room for insecurities when everyone is asking to see my tattoo!.  My piercings were also a celebration of feminism... being girly and nurturing my jewelry fetish.  I was raised catholic (no longer hold denomination)... sexuality and sensuality were considered v. bad!  I find that ALL of my mods directly contradict all of the sick shit I was taught as a kid.  I cannot imagine not having them..... they make me feel v. girly and pretty and I have found that there is no good reason not to feel that way about myself.

very well put bear! 

speaking of first tats, which i was thinking about starting a topic about it, i got a demon, beginning at the eyes and its mouth gaping open with blood dripping out.  my brother looked at it and said why so big, now its probably one of the smallest i have.  I havent looked back since that day. 

i recall occurances, with each tattoo, how it was done, what was going on when it was done, and then i can place my life together according to the tattoo.

Tyvm buddy!  I don't know if I have this quote right.... can't even remember who said it but here it goes (something like this) "show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past." They DO tell stories!  Sometimes many!

I have heard that quote too bear. but why do peole think that tattoos have to have some sort of meaning. none but one of my tatt's have meaning. i just dont understand, I love my tattoos they dont have no meaning behind them.

but it's all cool...
