"I Heart Tattoos" Link Up!

Lately around these parts, Tuesday has been synonymous with Sometimes & Always, but today there is more...I try to have a different theme every Tuesday to change up the link-up and this weeks theme presented itself.  Courtesy of Raven, I will be dedicating today to TATTOOS!

*GASP*

Are those even acceptable in the blog world??

Don't know- Don't care.

Plus, I know that even if you disagree with tattoos, you can't help but be fascinated by them,

and even more importantly- I know that you wouldn't try to argue with Raven.

Let us not forget- We are combining "I Heart Tattoos" and "Sometimes & Always". 
That's like having a devil (Raven) on one shoulder and an angel (Meg) on the other.  If you know them- you are SO nodding your head in agreement right now ;)

Sometimes: People don't believe me when I tell them I have tattoos.

Always: I am proud to challenge their stereotypes of people with tattoos.

Sometimes: I even forget that I have tattoos.

Always: When I see them in the mirror, they make me smile.

Sometimes: I wonder if I will ever regret my tattoos.

Always: I have never had regret for any thing in my past, so I will probably always see them as life experience and TOTALLY worth it.

 

 

Sometimes: I wish I could cover my body in tattoos like this~

Always: I realize that it would make me look like I was trying too hard.  I'm just not cool enough to pull that off...

Sometimes: I claim to be DONE with tattoos.

Always:  I continue adding to the ones I have, and because of Raven- I now have plans for at least three more.  Don't worry, they are lil' thangs!

When your art teacher leaves you without new projects,
you make your own.

Diamond travels the world working on celebrities, but he did mine in my friends

Priceless.

He is a friend of mine and I let him use me for practice.
I like being a test subject! Just make sure you trust the artist.
Ps. This was the most painful...obviously.

Probably the best story-
My friend Jay thought he would be clever and dared me to get a "J" tattoo, so I did.
I said, "Put your $ where your mouth is", and we went to the parlor.

Are you still my friend?
I promise I'm a good girl...mostly.
