Okay, the decision to have a tattoo has already been made. Actually I made the decision about 10 years ago but everytime I told friends/colleagues and even my mother, I was reminded about Christianity and that my body is God's temple etc. (Mmmhhh, those same friends and colleagues conveniently forget this during premarital sex!! Hypocrites!)
I also got that question about "imagine you're all wrinkled and your tattoo is now out of shape..."
Eish..ja, noh, let me say the only reason I don't have a tattoo today is because I've always been too scared to just "DO IT"... The only worrying thing about NOT doing it is that every time I see someone with a nice tattoo, jealousy overcomes me...I know, jealousy is a horrible thing but I'm just telling you the truth!
Okay, as you might have guessed, I've recently seen pictures of a friend of mine who plucked up the courage to go and when I saw them...yho, jealousy came back....and I decided, I'm getting it now! I don't care who says what, I'm getting it this time!!!
wish my bum looked like this
Okay, the decision is made and now comes the question of "what tattoo" and "where"....??
Given the fact that I was going to go against what Christianity encourages, and I would like to believe I still subscribe by those principles, I thought about "forbidden fruit"....
If (or rather when) I do go ahead and do the tattoo, I would be taking a bite of the forbidden fruit and suddenly a vision of a half bitten apple came into my head. I had the perfect tatttoo. I thought it would look great on the back of my right shoulder. (Don't know why I decided on right and not left).
So I went to google to see if I could find pictures of a half bitten apple I could take to the tattoo artist....guess what I find...
Apple as in Mac computers, actually has an Apple Tattoo!
Okay, so that idea is scrapped coz I'm not advertising Mac on my body unless they promise a lifetime supply of their products....umm, I didn't think so!
So, it's back to square one in terms of deciding the "WHAT" ...as for the "WHERE".....well, I now seem to have "subconsciously" made a decision that it's going to be a lower back tattoo.
I love wearing sleeveless tops so a shoulder tattoo is bound to be out there all the time...and I don't think I want it out there all the time.
Now you might be asking, why do it if you wanna hide it?
Well, it's not that I wanna hide it but first impressions last and I don't want people making conclusions about me ngenxa ye tattoo...
I'm in a corporate environment and I just want to be able to "hide" when I go for that all important job interview....
I sound confused huh? Well, it's because I am!!
Okay, the tattoo is not gonna be on my ankle, neither is it gonna be on my shoulder and because I rarely wear "ama stomach out" (LOL), I guess lower back it is then.
Now, I don't have a boyfriend I could ask (hint hint), so I need your help:
Is a Lower Back Tattoo really a "tramp stamp"?
Does it make a woman seem loose? Or Cheap? Or Sexy?
Should I even care what people think of what and where I do the tattoo? Or should it be about what will make me happy, regardless of the consequences?
Holla at your confused gal!!
