Your body is a temple, but how long can you live in the same house before you redecorate?
Most of my Facebook is IMVU based. Used for keeping my name out there when I am feeling horribly lazy and not actually making product. Only a very small handful are people I know on a personal level. So I was surprised that while fiddling around on Facebook yesterday morning, one of the random people I add for public relations only messaged me. We spoke for a bit and I guess I put her off.
She told me she was watching some show.. I dont even remember what.
I replied I was watching True Blood.
"Wow. You're tough.. I watch the trailer and I get creeped out."
>.>
She lives in the Dominican Republic and loves to keep tanned.
I replied that I tend to avoid evil star at all costs and I am very pale.
She "LOL"d me and said I would never get any vitamins and asked why.
I replied that I get them through my food and dont have to worry about skin cancer. Plus, the added perk of my tattoos showing nicely.
"How many do you have?"

"Wow. You're tough."
(Um.. ok.. whatever.)
I then told her that my tattoos I get are not random. Each one marks a time-span in my life and has many memories attached.. It was in telling her this that I actually grew to like one of the tattoos that I previously decided I hated. A tribal rose that I had serious considerations in getting it removed because it didn't look great. The more I thought about it and the memories attached, the more protective I became over it.
She then cut the conversation short, seeing as we had very little in common, and went off on her merry way to enjoy the sun and 'clean' skin.
This has almost.. (I repeat-- "almost") sparked the desire to take snapshots and make posts about each of my tattoos and the crazy life story behind them. Each one is precious to me in it's own way. Two I got while dating Chris.. one while with Kimberly. One where I pissed off the tattoo artist because I was getting it for free. (Btw... NOT a good idea to piss off a big burly guy with a needle gun...) Then my most recent one pulls together all my memories of times spent with Vampy. The last I think is my favorite to date and I thought would be my last tattoo in general..
But perhaps not.
Ecamer has an idea of a tattoo for me but it's rather pricey so I seriously doubt I will get it done. He was thinking a full sleeve of Dia De Los Muertos. And while YES I would LOVE that, it's way too expensive. So I am going to have to think of an alternative. A smaller alternative. Or at least an alternative that I can put on my upper arm in an area that can be covered as needed. I do know one thing for certain.. I am not much for the colored ones and I think shaded black is the way to go.
