Marked

There are people out there who don't understand the beauty of the tattoo. I've heard people say things to the affect of "why would you do that to yourself?" and "you know, when you get older, it'll look like crap." But I happen to love tattoos, as long as they are tasteful and truly express the personality of the wearer. I think that's the most important part of it... that the image or words that you choose to permanently mark yourself with is truly a reflection of you.

I have wanted a tattoo for a very long time. I knew where I wanted it. I knew generally how big a tattoo I wanted. But I really didn't know what I wanted until recently. I've thought on and off over the years of what image I wanted imprinted on me. And while many of the ideas were cool or fun, none of them really seemed me. Until recently, I thought I would never figure it out and that I would just pine away wanting a tattoo and never actually getting it. But after just some general imaginings over the past couple of weeks, I came up with it. And once I thought of it, it was like a bolt of lightning, and I knew. It was time to get it. So I took the plunge and was so incredibly happy when I saw the result. It was perfect. And more importantly, it was me.

So, here it is...
