Tis' the End

I find it crazy that this will be my last blog post for the eight weeks. And to think that at the beginning of all of this I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough to write about. These eight weeks gave me the opportunity to explore the world of tattoos, something I wouldn’t necessarily do on my own.

I’ve always found tattoos interesting but just recently did I begin to make the connection of tattoos and art. Each week I wrote about new trends in the industry and what clients should consider before getting a tattoo. This new way of writing was refreshing, allowing me to add the appropriate amount of facts and opinion.

I’m glad to announce I still only have one tattoo, but I’m starting realize why people say you can’t really stop at one tattoo. Every time I see a picture I like or when I hear a quote or song lyric, I think about how that could be incorporated into a tattoo.

Recently I’ve been really interested in the Serenity Prayer. I love the meaning of it and think that if I could learn to live by the words of it then I’d be less stressed and I could accept things more easily. I was flipping through a catalog of one of my favorite jewelry stores when I saw a pendent that had the three main words of the Serenity Prayer, serenity, courage and wisdom. I looked at it for awhile and thought, if I get another tattoo, this is what I want. I turned the book around to show my mom and told her that’s what I wanted.

She looked at me and said “You’ve got your one tattoo already.”

I think it takes certain people to wear a lot of tattoos well; I’m not one of them. I rather my tattoos be easily hid and I figure if I get all these tattoos while I’m young then in the future, when I find one I really want then I won’t have a good area for it. Talking about the importance of tattoos has insured me to think before I act.

Blogging on this topic provided me with new information on tattooing as well as enlightenment. I view tattoos with even more appreciation than before.
