TODAY IS TATTOO DAY. YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WHY?

[alliecat8]

TATTOO DAYS ARE DIFFERENT. IT'S NOT THE CAPSLOCK -- I DO THAT ANYWAY. IT'S THIS THING WHERE I SUDDENLY REALIZE, HEY, I HAVE A TATTOO, WORLD!!!. On these days I wear my hair up so my tat, which is on the back of my neck, shows proudly -- the quill pen with the rose wrapped around it and the drop of ink and the drop of blood -- I feel all different and free. Perhaps this came from a conversation with the Ultra-Conservative Thing 2 Teenage Mutant Daughter as we were watching American Idol last night, and I was admiring all the tattoos. Then I started musing about what I'll get when I go to Ireland and maybe Scotland(SUGGESTIONS, ANYONE?) and DAMMIT, THIS TIME I'M GONNA GET 'EM WHERE I CAN SEE THEM. Or...probably not because I live amongst ladies. Y'know, LADIES. And I'm supposed to be one, which I will pretend to be for T2's sake for a couple more years. Anyway, she announced that I don't have a tattoo because mothers don't do that.gottalovev, FEEL FREE TO CHIME IN ANY TIME. MY TATTOO MAKES ME FEEL LIKE "SUCH A RADICAL!" (SEE EPONINE119'S JOURNAL, SHE WHO STOLE ALL THE GOOD QUOTES [LIKE THAT ONE] FROM SPRING AWAKENING). ANYHOW, YOU NEEDED TO KNOW THAT SO YOU'D UNDERSTAND. JUST WAIT TIL YOU SEE WHAT-ALL I'MA GONNA POST TODAY, 'CAUSE IT'S TATTOO DAY.

Oooooh, the tattoo I've always wanted to get (and maybe will, eventually) is a Trinity Knot. It's a Celtic symbol ... would be very apropos for a trip to Scotland or Ireland! ;P

I love trinity knots. I love the concept of three -- however someone choses to interpret it. That IS very Irish. Where would you put it, if you were me and wanted to be able to hide it any time you wanted (which would be 99% of the time?)

Hmmmmm -- I've always figured if I suck it up and do it, I'd get mine on my lower back somewhere, which would mean it's effectively hidden most of the time.

Maybe your hip as well? That would be pretty hidden. I'd love to have one on my wrist, but that's too "out there" for a government bureaucrat, I think. ;P
