A few of my friends have tattoos. And I cannot bring myself to tell them how terrible they are. How can you possibly tell a good friend - or even a person with whom you have romantic interest - that their tattoos are the stupidest tattoos you have ever seen in your life? It is probably best to keep the idea to myself, but I cannot help but think less of a person who would tattoo themselves with a tattoo that is downright BAD.
Perhaps these people would think that my theoretical tattoos would be equally as stupid. I was thinking about getting a Dali's clock on a bicep, but I abandoned that idea. I was considering a depiction of the creation of the universe in three small circles on the front of my chest. This might be a pretty bad tattoo to some people, perhaps even myself. The first circle would be all black, the center circle would be split down the middle half-black, half-uncolored, the third circle would be the two colors all swirling into each other. The center circle would be dead center over my sternum. This idea a little stupid. I am probably not going to get this. But I should. I don't know.
There is one set of tattoos that I am certain I will get done eventually. These will be three small script letters that one would find used in math. Lowercase script x on the front of my right wrist, lowercase script y on the front of my left wrist, and a lowercase script z on the very top of my head. They are basically labels. I am going to have to wait awhile to get this done, because I am going into a professional field, and it might not be a great idea to have visible, half-insane tattoos.
But one thing is for sure, whenever I show someone any kind of tattoo I get, I am going to encourage negative criticism, because being all like, "Look at my tattoo!," just puts people in an awkward situation.
