Tattoos For Me


Ever since I was a young girl, I always adored tattoos. Of course I was 13 and it would be illegal for me to get one until I was 16 with my mother’s consent.  I turned some years older and a lot wiser. I know what I want, where I want it, and why I want it. Tattoos should have some sort of meaning, even if it is some cute little picture, it should be something you’ll adore for the rest of your life.  You don’t want to be 80 years old covered in cartoon tattoos. I fell in love with my ideas. They deal with my life decisions, my battle with depression, and my love for music/lyrics. All of my script on my body will be lyrics that speak to my heart or it will be in German because of my background. I have decided that my first tattoo will be a dream catcher and the words “I’m a dream catcher but nothing but nightmares I caught,” by Tyler the Creator. This is for my depression and how every day was a living nightmare.
I drew up my ex-best friend’s first set of tattoos when I just turned 16. She wanted some type of sparrow or swallow and some heart design. They turned out beautiful and ever since she’s gotten more tattoos. I’m an artist with a creative mind and tattoos can bring out the art that I would want on my body that would consume my image of beauty.

  1. I have such a stand against tattoos. I see your view, though.
