I had a very interesting conversation with Janice at work today. So we were at our respective places doing what we do best when there's not much to do;
surfing the net whilst chatting about cabbages and kings among all sorts of other things.=)Todays topic swayed towards tattoos. I found it surprisingly engaging and entertaining!
I don't know if it's just me that went through a "dude, tattoos are cool yo. i should so get one" phase.which of course opened a whole ginormous can of worms.
From where should i get it?? wrist? ankle? higher back? lower back? back of neck? arm? side of tummy? smack in the middle of tummy? butt??(right or left side??)
to what tattoo should I get?? an angel? a pair of wings? my chinese name? an animal? a bar code? a heart? a lolly? a dancer? a ballet shoe? you get the picture.
We found ourselves slowly consolidating our thoughts toward a more practical side of this tattoo issue. What happens if we're pregnant? What will happen when we become fatter? what if we lost weight? what if we get married and our whole backs were tattoos galore? then how to wear a backless dress??
So finally we concluded; By all means if one is sure, go ahead and get a tattoo. HOWEVER one must take into consideration the changes one's body might go through. Imagine for a moment; you have a beautiful angel tattoo on your tummy. When you're pregnant, you will have but a fat angel tattoo. And when you have delivered the baby, you will find that you have to live with fairy grandmother tattoo.
We also concluded that if you absolutely MUST get a tattoo but are not willing to compromise your tattoo's original shape, the safest place would be your forehead. We are not sure what will happen if one gets wrinkles there though. It was beyond our imaginations and we were pressed for time. Ken's coming with work for us to do.
Toodles!
