It's that time of the year again.
Ever since I got my first tattoo, the itch hits periodically. Every 6 8 months I need to get under the needle again. I NEED it.
I'm one who, after getting the first one and realized that actually enjoys it, needs no more reason than "want" to get one.
I got tattooes because I was depressed, happy, beacause too much have gone since my last one, becaue an artist I liked was around, because it made sense, becaue it felt right, because I had money or just in the mood.
I never got a "meaning" tattoo. Who cares?
When people ask me:"what does that "cat" means?!" I'm like...
My every tattoo is a challenge to man's need for meaning. Can we live in a word when nothing has a meaning but just is? That's the question every tattoo asks and every time someone wonders about it, some existentialist cries in pain.
Yeah, I'm an arsehole.
So this one - and I can't show you a photo as I don't like to take photos of my tats - is complementary to my carolina reaper tattoo. It was a play and maybe a tribute to one of my favorite movies: Eastern Promises.
Only the stars is something you can eat. Guess what?
I'm putting 10 sbd bounty on whoever can guess :)
Anyway, every tattoo experience must be, if successful a combination of a lot of things. An introspective meditative session that can reveal something about your current state of mine. A therapy with the best therapist: the needle. A way to punctuate something in your life and move it forward. A complete and utter satisfying self-analysis and a reason for self-actualizing.
A tattoo is something you'll remember in a very visceral way, it's a state of mind, memory on skin. That's why I don't care about the actual drawing, it's about the actual state of mine.
I have mine. See you in Feb for the next one...or maybe a Steemfest-celebration tat? :)
So, do you have and love tattoos? Tell me all about it!

I think im too scared to get a tattoo, I know that I change a lot over the years and think i could end up regretting one if i did get one. Which is a shame as I do like the idea of having one.
you should share the tattoo too...
i SHOULD!
haha, good one indeed
Upload some of the tattoos you have on your body. Let's see the artist creativity.

Why do you apologize for this? :)
oh..so many sins...
Nice sir,welcome to my blog.thanks.

Amazing tattoo

I am longing for my first tattoo. I'm going to be 46 soon and I want something large that really stands out. BUT oh the price. Sigh. I will have to Steemit up a storm!
Hey! Where you from?
I can tell you that I have some really awesome tats all done in Romania...never paid more than 200euros.
HAd no clue you are 46...
I'm from South Africa and that price sounds about right, but it is still a lot of money to me. Age is a number....flexible body (yoga), open mind, love to do new things, fun! You will NEVER be old!
I guess it depends on how much do you spend on hobbies. For me, it's a good price to pay for something I will have forever unlike say...clothes. Clearly age is a number but it takes more work to keep that number low when you're getting older: sport, nutrition, sleep.
Youth definitely is wasted on the young!
Well I have mixed feelings, I never dreamed of having one. Maybe I've seen only the meaningless type or maybe is just not my thing. Anyway, anything that is deepening your life experience is worth having it. So keep whatever works for you.
oh yeah it's so exciting when thinking about tattoo but when we are sitting for a tattoo it's so painful i had 2 tattoo on my hand that's my gf name on valentine's day i put tattoo on my hand to suprise her.
I think your tattoo does have meaning even if you deny it or don't thin they do.
amazing
Tattoos are not my thing, but I'm OK with them...
My teenager daughter and I talked about this few days ago, and I'm perfectly fine with her having some work done. Not yet...later on.
My perspective is different! 👇👇👇
soon I will be getting a tattoo for myself.
Tattoos and art. Some are incredibly beautiful. Thanks. 🐓🐓
well this is how our tat story started ! it starts itching then you want another one ! loved the name of the tat balsam tho ! hehe
As an tattoo artist, I can tell you why you enjoyed the pain ;)
