I am beginning this post having nothing to do with piercings or tattoos. It boggles my mind how much spam has taken over the internet. Myspace started out as a good idea and now has becoming an advertising friendsy. Just now I was checking all my spam comments and recieved a copius amount of advertisements ranging from viagrato car insurance. I am almost 21 years old and people are asking me to buy viagra and car insurance?!?! No thanks.
Sorry about my tangent, back to business
Lets switch it up and introduce my passion with tattoos and the culture behind it. I knew at an early age, with my ecclectic personality, that I was definately getting a tattoo. Also, since I am not a very big or mature looking guy, I thought a tattoo would make me mildly more intimidating. Having such a random personality though I do not go all out and tattoo my whole body (even though they are highly addicting). I have 4 now but they are all relatively small and somewhat concealed.
My first tattoo was a week after my 18th birthday. I designed the tattoo when I was 16 while I was on a trip in Spain. The tattoo is in the shape of two tribal wings with a circle in the middle. The circle symbolizes the time in life and when it branches off into the wings it represents how life can throw some crazy turns and to just go with the flow and fly with it. Also, it has 18 spikes representing the age of independence and getting it on my 18th birthday. Last, it fades from black to red which on a personal level is the same colors as my car. My car is black with red lighting ALL over the interior, the reason this is significant is because my car represents freedom. Having my car puts me at ease giving me the mindset that if I get too stressed I can pick up and go or just take a drive.
