i used to think that you should only get a tattoo if it has meaning or a story behind it, but now it’s like, tattoos are frickin art man get one because it looks sick as hell on you.

could not describe that any better
A little girl and her mom were looking at me at the coffee shop this morning and I heard her mom say “go on, it’s ok!” and the little girl shuffled up to me and said “ex-cuse me please, do you have to put on your tattoos by yourself every DAY or does your mom help you?” I am d y i n g
My niece was in the bathroom when I was in the tub and she asked if my tattoos would wash off. I told her they won’t, I’ll have them my whole life.
She asked, “Even when you die?”
I said, “Yes”
She looked me dead in the eye and said, “When you’re space dust your tattoos will be stars”
let’s go 😛
Apparently “spite” is not an ‘appropriate answer’ to “What motivates you?”
Ok, so the tattoo artist I have been going to for all of my tats seriously does everything in his life out of spite. He became a tattoo artist because he was told it was stupid, he got married because his friends told him not to, he bought a house with a picket fence because he was told he wasn’t the kind of guy that would do that, and he had a kid because he was told he would be a crap father. He has a nice wife, an adorable little girl, a good house, and is an award winning tattoo artist.
Live your life in spite
drop the idea that you need some deep philosophical meaning behind your tattoo, if you got a tattoo simply because its aesthetically pleasing and for no other reason then good for you
aestheticism is the theory of art for art’s sake, and was championed by Oscar Wilde with the belief that surrounding oneself with beautiful things can directly influence the person one becomes. im taking a class on it. so basically every time u get a cool tattoo or a brooch u find in an antique store or a pretty wall print ‘just because u like it,’ Oscar Wilde is nodding approvingly
My sole mission in life is to make Oscar Wilde’s ghost approve of me
I think freckles, stretch marks, tattoos, bruises, birthmarks, and scars are probably the coolest thing. You started with a blank canvas and look at you now, all this evidence that you’ve lived
glasses are cute. freckles are cute. tummies are cute. curly hair is cute. short hair is cute. fizzy hair that goes everywhere and you can’t keep up with it is cute. no makeup is cute. tons of makeup is cute. stretch marks are cute. birth marks are cute. tattoos are cute. nails that you always bite on are cute. gapped teeth are cute. braces are cute. please don’t think you aren’t cute because society says you need to be this or that. you’re cute, and i love you
