I have a wonderful boyfriend who, as a birthday present, is going to pay for me to get a tattoo. The artist and place are chosen, design decided, appointment set. People know I have tattoos and want more. Still I get...
Is your boyfriend ok with this?
What the actual fuck, Mother
My body belongs to me, I need no one else's permission to affect, effect, decorate, or change it. I graciously share my body with those I deem worthy, they still don't have the right to decide anything about my body for me. (This has become my actual mantra)
Not only is he ok with it (through it wouldn't matter if he weren't, because it is my body and not his), but he is paying for it because he knows how much I want one and how important they are to me.
You know that'll hurt, right?
Fucking duh, dumbass
If it doesn't hurt, it's not worth it
Anything worth doing is worth the pain of doing it
I have a period every month where a piece of my body literally destroys itself and gets rid of the evidence. I have gone through 5 labor and deliveries of a human being forcing itself through my vaginal opening. I currently have Fibromyalgia in my entire body, Arthritis in all my extremities, and carpal tunnel in my right wrist. I know well from pain, we're GOOD friends.
Yes, thank you, I've done it before. It will be fine.
You know it's permanent right?/You'll regret having that when you're 80
I will not regret it, and as I am not the least bit mentally deficient (and, as I've stated before, I do have others), I'm aware of the permanence of needles driving ink beneath my skin. I spend a great deal of time and personal energy deciding exactly what to put on my body, exactly where and exactly by whom. This is not something I've chosen on a whim and it is not something I'm going to change my mind on tomorrow. And personally, I think if I have all the tattoos I want when I'm 80, I'm going to look fabulous!
