Tattoos @ MindSay

... i am either a whore, a pimp, in a gang, or a criminal because i have tattoos. who would have thought that me, a white girl from middle of fucking nowhere Wisconsin, was in the in a street gang!! the moment i read this article i decided that i there are way too many closed-minded in the world, and that if i was the kind of person who would take revenge, he would be the first i would eliminate from this world. but thats ok my fellow tattooed friends, modblog ripped Paul Carpenter a new ass hole. so after you are done getting your arsenal ready to hunt this guy down and kill him you can stop for a second and read this article to make yourself feel better.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a few months now. It would be of a maneki neko (the lucky cats you see everywhere in Japanese restaurants), and I want to get it in a relatively inconspicuous place (I was thinking the inside of my left ankle or somewhere). There's another, albeit small, chance I'll be participating on the Miss NC USA pageant circuit this fall, and I'm not sure how they'd react to it, so right now this is all very tentative.

 

Another thing that concerns me is the "classy vs. trashy" argument with girls with tattoos. I'm kind of a prude when it comes to my own personal style and I try to maintain that whole "slightly exotic, slightly classy" thing that's relatively uncommon in girls. I don't want the tattoo anywhere on my arms, stomach, or lower back if I get it at all. I guess the wrist would be okay, and even the back of my neck if I grow my hair out. I guess I'm just not sure if I get it if people are automatically going to go "Oh what a skank" or something. I mean, Audrey Hepburn didn't have tattoos.

 

Any input is appreciated.

The tattoo that I got two years ago is already fading.  I keep it covered up because it's on my shoulder, plus I avoid the sun like the plague.  Why is it fading already?  I know I should get it touched up every once in a while, but is this unusual?  Do tats on dark skin fade faster?

 

 

    "You're shaking. I'm sorry."
    "No. Don't say that."

    I wrapped my arms around him, rested my head against his chest, and felt a sense of protection that I didn't know existed until that moment.

so i figured it was about time i posted all my body mods. now keep in mind i do have 4 tats and 15 piercings, but you will only get to see 13 of my piercings, cuz 2 of them, i dont think mindsay would like me too much to put them up, but adam likes them a lot..hehehe. so i guess..here it goes..there are lots of pics and they arent too good quality, my camera was only $100..meh.
