I love tattoos ...

[apocalypsos]

I have three and plan on getting more. Right now, I got a pentagram on my shoulder, a symbol signifying luck on the back of my neck, and Edgar Allen Poe's signature across my lower back (my favorite). The reason I say this is because it being Friday the 13th, one of the guys from work kept telling me last night that something bad would happen to me today. (Hey, just because nothing good has ever happened to me doesn't mean something bad will ... oh, never mind.)

The way I figure it, since two of my tattoos are intended to ward off bad luck, I'm cool for today. (I have no idea what Eddie's signature is supposed to do. Ward off marrying my cousins and dying drunk in a gutter, I suppose.)

You know what I'm more afraid of than bad luck today? It's Friday the 13th, I live five minutes from a Crystal Lake, and my mother once sold a Siamese cat rug to the woman who played Jason's mother. I'm not worried about something bad happening, I'm worried a machete-wielding psycho in a hockey mask is going to burst into my bedroom and chop me to cute little itty bitty pieces.

Hey, it could happen. And with my track record, would not be all that much of a surprise.

Also, you learn something new every day -- today I learned that when I grow up, I want to be just like me, but taller.

Growing up is overrated...so is being tall. *g* As for tattoos, I liked mine so much, it's my userpic!
Contemplating a knotwork crescent moon for my next one, just need to find someone to draw it for me.

Tattoos are a drug...a painful, weird, permanent drug.

Tell me about it. I'm just about dying to get another one, but considering the ones I've got now are all simple black, the next one's definitely going to have some color it in. And knowing me, it'll be all girly -- a butterfly, a fairy, a wizard or something. I want something big I can show off.

A friend of mine at work got this flower design on her leg that's *amazing* with those purple and yellow flowers on it. *sigh* Me want pretty, colorful tattoo. Ooo, I also want the Chinese symbols for love, luck, money, and magic on my arm, too, hoepfully just big enough to they can do them in brushstrokes.

Damn, I need tat money NOW. My friend Vicky told me they were like a drug when I went to get the first itty bitty one on my neck, but did I listen? Noooo ... :)
