tattoos and piercing.

Why, what's this? Blogging even when national examination is going on? Such big balls to oppose my own promise on not updating during exams?! Who am i? I am an idiot who promises.

:D

I wanted to share about my thoughts on this.

Tattoo and piercing are sort of a taboo subject for some of us, especially Asians i guess. My parents, for instants, gave me the eye when i mentioned about the possibilities of getting a tattoo or piercing. I had piercings each side of my ears, so i think they get the message me of getting piercings on unusual parts.

For me i didn't really think tattoo was such a big issue. However it's obvious, that whenever someone who has tattoo you tend to look at them a wee bit longer than anybody else and my mind wanders into other thoughts like 'such a beautiful art.' or 'what does that symbol or design mean to this person?'

Who doesn't love that faint smell of mystery? That draws you in without you knowing it.

I never wanted tattoo as a people magnet. Meaning, i don't want to get a tattoo for the sake of conversation-starters during dinner or parties. Tattoo is my way of expressing, or something to remind me. The purpose. The inspiration. The thirst for my imagination. Tattoo is a symbol about yourself. It's gotta be a work of art. The 'umph'. The gorgeousness. The magnificent of it.

Paloma Faith had a gorgeous tattoo on her back! (:

Anyways. I used to had a faux tattoo on my ankle. I was pretty guttered when it was gone.

My ideal tattoo would probably be on my ankle or my wrist. OH. I actually had a sudden but quite non-related thought, sorry about that heheh. A few weeks ago, i read across Readers Digest and they always have a column where you can test your vocabulary power. And i picked up the word 'zaftig'. It generally means pleasantly plump. I personally love the word! There are women who are meaty and don't look bad - in fact they look gorgeous! Zaftig supporter all the way! (:

Whenever the word 'zaftig' pops up, the one and only actress i remember is Sara Ramirez. Known for her role as Dr. Callie Torres in Grey's Anatomy. Isn't she gorgeous?! (:

Hahah okay back to the topic about tattoo. I would want to get a tattoo with the number 505 on my wrist, if that's possible AND i actually am very sure after a long time of consideration. The number 505 comes from a meaningful song from Arctic Monkeys, yes, called 505. The song is mainly about his ex girlfriend whom stayed in a hotel room 505. But him touring around takes a toll on their relationship. The song somehow gave me some sort of haunting, i feel that it means something very important to me.

505 will be a reminder. Personally to me. To never lose touch to your love ones. Never turn your back on them. Despite anything that happen, always place them first in your heart.

505.

I am very interested in getting a Monroe piercing. The picture will tell it all.

Before i do something in a hurry, i better buy those diamond piercing stickers and try it on first. Trial and error, no? (:

Time to hafal Moral nilais again. God help us all.
