we're gonne be big stars.
Tattoo number four. The one tattoo I have on the left side of my body (which is strange considering I am a lefty) sits on the arch of my left foot. nine simple numbers over the arc of a shooting start look smudged and faded on my skin. i made the mistake of impulsively getting my lady bug tattoo just days before. this ladybug required all of the white blood cells it could, leaving Elvis' social security number to fend for itself on my foot, ultimately only healing half way.
elvis isn't a metaphor for hope or belief or faith but in a way he, & the tattoo, stands for all that and so much more. for example, it's a leap of faith to agree to get a matching tattoo with someone -- no matter how much you love them. what if you hate each other by the end of the week? In case anyone wasn't aware, Sarii and I got the same tattoo (on the second day I was down in South Carolina in November) one that she designed because of our mutual love for Elvis Presley. It stemmed from a job about us getting "Baby" tattooed on our asses then talk of Elvis tattoos. I suggested we get one. "I am totally serious" to shich she replied, "So am I."
My forth tattoo is a self proclaimed symbol of friendship. It's an expression of music -- loving it while heartedly, though not as loudly or straight forward because that isn't really necessary.
And the shooting star? It's pretty and simple. And We are gonna be big stars...
random facts about this tattoo:
- it , for me, has resulted in a few strange looks
- i can't say social security number outloud right without carefully and slowly pronouncing all of the syllables seperately
- i told my mom they were magic numbers and she asked if it was a Harry Potter tattoo
- i plan on having it fixed either in November for the one year anniversary or perhaps in May when i am back down in South Carolina
