Did ya'll read the Maia Lee article? Well y'know, I do understand how she feels about being heavily tattoo-ed and judged. It totally sucks. I love my tattoos. I love them all and I don't regret anyone in particular. However, I do regret placing it on my arm because ever since I did, I should've thought about the consequences - sad. Well, a lot of people ask if "Will you laser them one day?" and finally, I'm going to answer this. Yes! Only the one on my forearm though. Unlike Maia, who dislikes her tattoos, I do not dislike mine! I love all of my tattoos but I've a lot of reasons why I want to get it removed. Here's one of it. 1. I want to have kids and don't want my kids' friends to make fun of him and say things like "Your mother is a gangster!" and what if the friend's parent sees me and makes his/her kid stop hanging out with mine cause he/she thinks I'm bad? I read something she wrote "It is ridiculous of his teacher to announce to the whole class that Tyrese's mom looks like a 'bad person because she has so many tattoos, it's not good'. What sort of stupid 1800-era teachers do we have?" - Wah, I don't want my child to have to face such a thing. I hate it when people see me as "BAD". Like I really hate it. Like if someone thinks I'm a bad influence and should be avoided (just because of my tattoos) - I get super affected by it cause deep down I know I'm not a bad kid! - sigh. The thought of getting it removed makes me feel really sad though, cause I love it :'( And also, I hate how people think, you have a tattoo = you're gangster. Its damn annoying - The look people always give me. I love tattoos, I find tattoos cool, but I learn that you should place it at places you can hide easily. Like your thigh, back, tummy? I wish I did my cupcake, little pony, owl tattoos on my back :( It's just so sad to see them go. I fear the pain though. And also the $ I've to pay for it :( BUT FOR MY FUTURE, IT'S WORTH THE PAIN AND $. Anyone did tattoo removal before? Know where i can go for consultation? Also, I was talking to a tattoo friend one day and he suggesting "Skin Grafting", don't know much about it, I wonder if you guys know anyone who did Skin Grafting before? I know there'll be some who'll be like "haha, stupid, see! now you regret" Well, yeah I guess I didn't put much thought into it when I did it on my arm. I really wish i can just shift my tattoos to my back,like sticker. Hehe. I don't know why people are hating it and hating her for posting her views on it. I actually can relate to it and really understand how she feels! Only part i'm not happy about is the part where she blames her tattoos for her failed relationships? I really dont think it's the tattoos? Doesn't mean if you don't have tattoos your boyfriend will be "decent" and "holy" what? You can have a boyfriend who's "decent" and "holy" even with tattoos! Take me for an example! Most of my ex-boyfriends are pretty decent and don't have a single tattoo?
Lots of Love,
