rat a tat, rat a tat, rat a tattoo
I'm getting a tattoo!!!!
Now I can never convert to judaism, and if I do, then I can't be buried in a jewish cemetary. oh well, that is my biggest fear.
So, I'm going old school with this. Back in the day of pirates in the south pacific, sailors used to get tattoos of a swallow when they went south of the equator. When they got home, they would get the matching pair to the swallow. Swallows are homing pigeons and they always come home if they are safe. also, I think they are really pretty. I felt stupid getting them out of context, so now that i'm moving back to the midwest, I'm using this as a reminder to leave the midwest before too long. If not as a reminder to come to new york, at least as a reminder to make sure i feel like i'm at home wherever I am.
the spider tattoo is still on hold. It's really nice and really pretty, but again, all the artists say that it's to detailed and the legs will end up disappearing over time. I do NOT want to have tattoo under my scar of a an amputee spider. That is not the story I want to tell. Honestly, I barely notice my scare anymore. Perhaps, I should just go ahead and design a new version that is not quite so decorative.
Last year, I had temporary tattoos made for my company so I could see if I liked them and figure out where I wanted to ahve them. I put them on my chest to test them out and see what I think. When I was fooling around with my fuckbuddy last night, he said he'd never noticed them before and he was kind of embarassed. ha ha. I supposed that means they looked natural enough right?
tuesday at 4pm, can't wait!
