I'm going to say something that goes against what probably every episode of Miami ink and LA ink stands for. I don't understand why people get tattoos that are significant, personal and relate to something you're interested in.
I like having sex, playing the guitar and going to the gym. But I don't need to get a vagina, a guitar and a dumbbell tattood on my chest to remind me, and I don't have the urge to tell passing people about my interests.
Although thinking about it, it would be pretty useful if someone asks "So what are you into then Paul?" I could just rip my shirt open and show them the vagina, guitar dumbbell tattoo.
For the same reason I just don't get name tattoos. You're not going to forget your wife's name, no one else cares that you love your wife, you've been with her 29 years now and you don't have anything to prove. Same with kids names tattoos.
My tattoos are realllllly stereotypical incan tribal tattoos mixed up with some scorpions , I still think they look good and the design is sort of unique but they still look a bit stereotypical. But to me that's all they are there for. Just some body decoration to look nice until I die and my body rots. If I want them to look less stereotypical I can always add to the pattern and just having something fucked up put in there.
You're probably going to get the tattoo you decided on anyway and you probably won't regret it but it's not something I'd go for, but then you'd probably never ever go for tribal tattoos and scorpions and I'm sure you think the idea of that is equally stupid.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
