Tattoos and thinking out loud

Tattoos are a tricky thing. On one hand I really want one, or a few, things that have made me who I am today I’d like to put on my body. Specifically song lyrics that mean a lot, maybe a picture or two. All in places that can be easily covered up to look professional when I need to.

I also feel like the odd man out at punk shows when I’m the only guy without a tattoo.

On the other hand it’s tough for me to think of putting something on my body that’ll be there for the rest of my life.

On the third hand I kind of want some decorations.

Maybe this year? Thoughts?
