Will you leave a mark on this planet? (part deux)

OK so maybe it isn't a continuation of my previous entry... I just wanted to use (part deux)....

So some of you may know I have an addiction. Yes I have an addiction... me who beat smoking in one day. I who have tried many hard drugs and was able to avoid getting hooked.

I am addicted to ink. I like getting tattoos a lot. I got another one just yesterday and I have another appointment later on in October. I am either going to get traditional Japanese air line to fill out my half sleeve or I am going to do something on my other arm like a triple cross arrangement or some light rays around an existing tattoo I have... I guess I need to decide that...

Funny thing about tattoos depending on the age of people you are dealing with you can still be perceived as a criminal. I have seen many people who are a little on the older side react negatively to my choices I have made, and not just oh I don't like tattoos kind of negative. I can appreciate that tattoos are not for everyone and I am OK with that. We all make choices and not everyone makes the same choice. However when the prejudices make people think one way before knowing a person that's just kind of sad.

LOVE the ink!!!

Soooooooo...pictures???

Miami Ink and LA Ink are cool shows. I love the stories behind people's tattoos. I think with shows like those... they will help tear down the sterotype of tattoos.

I want one too!
