Ok people..I've finally decided...I'm going to get a tattoo...this may not seem like alot to other people..lol not very rebelious but my mom and all her sisters tried to convince me that I wouldn't want one..but I do and for me it takes alot to do it even though my mom doesn't want me to. Lol I sound like a 2-yr old but my mom's opinion means alot to me. Anyways..here goes the explanation of what I want my tattoo to look like:
Its going to be the word Discovery spelled in the shape of a fish. If any of you have ever seen the logo for the band Phish you'll understand the general idea. Now I think tattooes should really means omething to you if your going to get them..I want the word Discovery because that is the name of the Camp I attend and am a counselor at over the summer. It is a camp for teens with skin disorders..and it has changed my life. Besides it being the name of the camp its also something that is very symbolic for me because discovering who I am, in regards to what I wanna be, how I want to live my life, and how I'm going to use my skin disorder for a greater purpose is everything to me. I want the word discovery to be in the shape of a fish because the name of my skin disorder is called Ichthyosis and the prefix "Icthy" means fish-like. Some people might think that I shouldn't focus on my skin..and on a day to day basis I don't...but its a part of me and has shaped my life and given me life experiences I never would have had otherwise. It is the greatest gift God ever gave me. And so even though the design might seem simple..to me it represents alot more.
So there you have it folks...Katie is getting a tattoo...lol I just need to save up some money first.
