if i had gotten inked at 16... ick.

i wanted to get all of my fave bands' logos on the inside of my arms, starting at the wrists. the Smashing Pumpkins' SP heart, Red Hot Chili Peppers' doublecross, Pink Floyd's prism, Deftones' D, FM's penguin... it would have been tragic...

This one needs to be recolored, I got it when I was 18.

I have one more, but it's in the middle of my back, and I don't feel like taking a pic of it.

What is the second one? My friend thought it was a fish coming out of a cat's ass...

Looks like the smoking caterpillar from Alice In Wonderland to me.

I can't deal with the pain and the idea of living with one for the rest of my life doesn't sound good to me at all. I can think of a few symbols that would be important enough for my whole lifetime (human heart or penguin, perhaps), but I still can't see putting one of those on my flesh. I hate that it wouldn't look the same when I get older, so I figure it's not worth it for me.

Hehe. I took my mother and her friend Barb to see The Interpreter this afternoon and after she bought her ticket, my mother's friend turned to me and said "I don't like that guy that sold me the ticket, he has a grin like the Cheshire Cat. Looks very sneaky."

The sagging flesh factor has always gotten to me. That and what if you get something and you end up hating it? The removal is supposedly more painful than the actual tattooing process.

Do any of you have names of people that you've since broken up with. If so, what in the hell were you thinking!??! I love how Johnny Depp turned his Winona Forever into Wino Forever--we're happy you enjoy wine too, Johnny.

The idea of sagging flesh petrifies me in the first place, tattoo or no tattoo. I'll pin back my flesh before it sags, love.

I was just thinking that! That sounded so idiotic to me!

I think people think I'm sneaky, too. Not from my tattoo, but when I grin. Anyway, I'm not sneaky at all, unfortunately.
I'd also like to take this opp to explain my butterfly. I, too, thought it was lame when people just got random, butterfly (or whatever) tattoos. One day, my friend drove up (wait, down) to visit me. We had just finished having lunch on telegraph, with cocktails. So we walk out, and were all "what should we do now?" and I laughingly said "we could get tattoos!" but she was like "yeah! I can get my winking tiger! (it's this joke she always tells. anyway. ) And i was like "you can, I'm broke, and I don't have one in mind, anyway" and she was all "noooo, you get one too, I'll pay for it". So then, I was trying to think, and whatever, and I had this little patch of veins on my leg which were the bane of my existence. So, basically, I got the butterfly to cover the veins. I couldn't think of anything, and didn't have much time anyway....

I guess I always figured that I would look at my tatoo when I'm 65 and pleasantly remember the times and myself as I was when I got it. I figured too that if it got too faded and yucky, I could always have it recolored. Plus, I thought long and hard about something that I could get that would always be meaningful to me and was careful to get it somewhere that I don't have to show unless I want to. Plus, it didn't hurt as much as you might expect it would. So far no regrets.

Oh. My. Gawd.

I thought I was the only one who detested the eye-puff thing. I actually have a friend who LOVES it.

I've had glasses since the 7th grade, and I have yet to find an optometrist who can perform that test successfully on me. Not even one. The minute they ask me to sit down at the table, my eyelids involuntarily close. And of course, they "say" the test is really "important", so they keep trying over and over and over. But they finally give up and stop once my eyelashes have been blown underneath each lid.

I've had glasses since I was in 4th grade. I remember when I was around 11 or something, I refused to have that done. They tried to make me feel guilty by having a lil kid have it done while I was making a "scene". They had to go get my mom and have her sign a paper saying I didn't have to do it. I've had it done since then, but sheebus, I despise that machine....I curse whoever came up with that torture device.

It just means we have strong reflexes....and I'm skittish anyways. LOL

And...OMG...anyone who watched ER a couple of weeks ago will know what I'm talking about. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on TV and I watched knee surgery once. LOL Some guy's eyeball popped out and I FREAKED.

OMG. You should've seen me freaking out and crying when I was first fitted for my contacts. I could not stand to let something touch my eyeball! It's so weird because now it's like second nature to me to keep putting then in and taking them out.

What is the test you guys are talking about?
