Tattooing truth.

Tattoo in Japan - Boing Boing:

"'I've seen very little that I would consider wearing for the rest of my life...'

I hear this a lot, but it's not really about finding a design you want to wear for the rest of your life. After a few years, you don't really see the 'design' anymore, you see what your life was like at the time you got it, you remember whatever good or bad things were going on at the time, and maybe think about how different things are now.

Some people get really hung up on 'but what does it MEAN?' like every little detail is supposed to have some sort of mystical story behind it, for some parts I just say, 'I don't know yet, ask me again in a few years.'"
