Tattoos

If you know me well enough, you should know that I like tattoos... like a lot. I guess you can say that I'm kind of attracted to tattoos. Not necessarily PEOPLE with tattoos, but the topic of tattoos itself. If someone has a tattoo, or if tattoos are mentioned in anyway, then I'm pretty much interested. I just love hearing the stories behind them and why people get them, or who they're in memory of. I don't care what people say, I think it's a very cool art form and sometimes a beautiful way to express certain events/memories/people in your life.

Anyways...last year I learned about this tumblr site where people can post pictures of tattoos they have and write a little bit about them. Since then I check the site frequently to look at all the recent ones. I don't know why, but I love sitting at my computer going through all the pictures and reading about all the stories. I just love it.

So I started saving all the ones I liked on my computer in a folder labeled "tattoos". I save ones that I think are beautiful or creative, ones that kind of relate to my life, ones that I would want to get one day, or ones in places where I might want to get a tattoo. Yesterday I decided to put together some of my favorites to share:

this one is a joke, but check out the second one from the left in the third row down. Twilight fan all the way!

  1. ew twilight one. so creepy/weird. my favorite place is the inside wrist. it's like... not super obvious, but noticeable and also easily covered up. that's where i will get one.

    what do you imagine yourself getting?

  2. I like the one of the world (even though I don't think I'll ever get a tattoo myself). One of the best tattoos I've seen was someone with the world tattooed on the top of their foot- it was really cool.
    and yeah, what stephanie said- which one is your favorite?
