Tattoos are a very taboo subject in my family, and I think in many others too. In my opinion, I am much more open-minded, but with certain limits. I am one of those who thinks that a tattoo does not define you as a person, but it does determine a lot, and it is unfortunate how others perceive you. That first impression can be conditioned by tattoos.
What I mean by open-minded but with limits is basically getting your face tattooed and things like that which have negative connotations, but that's more associated with my tastes. I have five tattoos and they are very minimalist. I like simple things, and the first time I got a tattoo, I had my daughter's name and a heart made of lines, dots, and one filled in like the one in the photo. The last one I mentioned, I got with two friends from school. Although we weren't the best of friends, they both reappeared when I needed them most. They were little angels in my life.
These tattoos caused a stir in my family because, obviously, no one else had any tattoos, and I showed up with them, haha. No one expected it. Luckily, they didn't take it badly, but it did cause a lot of surprise. As a child, I always liked them, but I also said I would get them when I was older and with my own money.
I also got the other three tattoos in a single session, without permission, and if I cause even a little discomfort, they told me that if I got one more, I would have to leave home, which is a very exaggerated measure on my mom's part. Anyway, I got a butterfly with roses, which I love and has a very beautiful meaning, along with a word that has so much power, which is gratitude, and one that I don't have a photo of, which is positive. They have always been meaningful things for me, beautiful things that I would like to remember. I went through some very hard times, and this reminds me that everything passes, that you have to live in gratitude and positivity always, even though sometimes it's hard.
Do I want to get more tattoos? Of course, but I'm not into that right now. I have other things to do. That can wait until later. I really enjoyed writing about this, letting you know a little bit about me and my thoughts. Sending you all a big hug 🫶🏻
