| Me and Kersti and the firsts |
So here is a little dept I had from last years "Year of the YES" promise. I got my very first tattoo. Que the balloons and clapping. I myself am really happy about it but as I predicted the tattoo topic is still sort of a hot topic with some people. Especially the ones who have strong opinions against it.
Of course everyone can have their own opinion about getting tattoos that is part of life but I just don`t get why criticize the people who like them and want to have them. Especially AFTER somebody has had one. You can`t actually reverse it, you know (okay so you can but it is difficult :D). Not that somebody`s opinion really gets to me in this case but it just got me thinking. Comments like "what do you think about your tattooed skin when you are 85?" - I mean WHO THE F*** CARES how my skin looks like when I am 85. I hope I have a tattooed 90 year old husband who thinks I am just as awesome as before. :D Or "you ruined your skin"- I mean, come on people, get a life, life is short. YOLO!
The other topic is the fact that to some people a tattoo has to mean a lot of things to the person who has it. I myself don`t really think that has to be the case. Mine has sort of a little meaning to me but most of the time I just look at it and the word is utterly positive. It only makes me smile. It only reminds me to enjoy life more. It is simple yet meaningful and I love it.
It probably won`t be my last one, because it is really true what they say about tattoos being an addiction. I still want to say that a tattoo does not change a person and his/hers personality so be more tolerant and accept the people for who they are and respect their decisions and enjoy! :)
Kris.
