but why display a personal life story on yourself when you already know your own life's story
lets put it this way, i know that i like music. i dont care who else knows that i like music, because it doesnt matter. my close friends and family know who i am and the things that are a big part of my life, so why bother with the tattoo at all? publicly showcasing something for personal reasons seems somewhat redundant, does it not?
but if you all just shut the fuck up and said 'i get the tattoos i feel like getting cause i think they're cool' then that's fine, because that's what it really comes down to. when someone asks why i dress the way i dress, im not going to say 'well there's a reason and it means something to me, these clothes are a big part of my life and who i am, they identify with my sophisticated nature ... bla bla blaa' im going to tell them 'because i think i look fucking good like this, k?' argument over.
bottom line, dont tell people they have to do something that has meaning, because you all get tattoos simply because you think you look good with em. they're cool, exciting, sexy, unique, make your boring body look colorful and pretty, whatever. so let other people do what they think makes them look good too.
