On Tattoos

I’ve just been checking out a conversation on the humble tattoo, over at Vibewire. And I thought I’d re-post my thoughts here, seeing as:

a) I haven’t written on this topic before; and b) it’s Friday; and ergo c) I’m too lazy to think up something more original.

Basically, when it comes to tattoos, I’m a fan. However, I do shout out a big ‘beware!’ to all who are pondering ‘to tatt or not to tatt’ – what you should know, no, what you MUST know, is this: tattoos are addictive!

I have two – one on my lower tum-tum, which, since going through 2 pregnancies now looks less like a beautiful dove flying through eternity and more like a hardened magpie struggling through a cyclone.

BUT…at least it’s now truly original.

My second one is on my lower back (yes, I’m one of THOSE people) and was done on a whim (actually it was almost a dare), but years later I’m happy to report that I still love it.

But…every few months or so, I feel that itch to get another. Will I or won’t I? Who knows? Ooh, the anticipation! Please, pop a sedative and sit down, won’t you?

But the point is, be warned: tattoos are like Pringles – once you pop, you can’t stop!

Though hopefully you wouldn’t actually ‘pop’ during the event, but you know…the sentiment’s the same. 🙂

I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi, Wakka Wakka and Butchulla peoples, the First Nation Traditional Owners of Country, and custodians of the land and waters on which I live and work, and all the peoples who have welcomed me on Country. I pay respects to all Elders past and present and acknowledge the young leaders who are working beside Elders in our cultural industries in the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices. I recognise all First Nation peoples as the original storytellers of these lands and acknowledge the important role they continue to play in our community.
