Change is good shit.
I'm currently planning and saving for my next tattoo(s). For anyone who has known me longer than 2 years you'd find this shocking considering I once swore that I would never get a tattoo and even after I finally did in 2008 I kept swearing I would never get another one. I used to be very openly and adamantly opposed to tattoos and I think it was because of all the impulsive and seemingly meaningless ones many people got in their late teens/early 20s. It also always irked me that people thought they could be defined by some sort of symbol, etc for their entire life. I never thought anything would mean the same thing to a person throughout their complete existence. In addition I always found the naked natural body quite a marvel. But within the last few years I've started to view them differently. I had never found them attractive before on either men or women and now there is a definite sex appeal to them. I also started to realize that something permanent and constant could in fact represent change. This irony definitely appealed to me. So despite the fact that my tattoo is private and I've never revealed to anyone what it actually is or means, I can admit that it represents that change can be a liberating and good thing. And that same change can also be comfort that some things are permanent.
