I received damn good news yesterday; at my job I won employee of the month for February, and it come with an award of $475 bucks. I definitely could use this money I am buying a digital camera. Its primary use will be for the DIY clothing company my best friend and I starting, but the added bonus is that I can post pics in my profile here. Ya all want to see what I look like right?
The rest of the money is going towards rehab of my shitty tattoo on my back. Its a big scenic style tattoo (lotus flower, fire, water, cherry blossoms, tribal lines) and it desperately needs to get some rework. Word to the wise; dont go out as soon as you turn 18 and get ink at any crappy studio like I did. Youll end up with a POS that youll have to spend even more money to make it look better and ever since my Mom saw it, she totally hated it and told me she was going to financially cut me off during college if I got any more ink. So I have had to live with the shame of an ugly tattoo for years, its actually embarrassing. People are like, So what exactly is it?
So here I am many years later, collage and our wedding have been paid for, (thanks Mom and Dad!) and I finally am completely independent from my parents, the only people I have to worry about pissing off are my loving husband and myself.
I am just really excited to finally have some of my own money to spend on a tattoo. I dont feel justified in spending money (which my husband and I share) on tattoos when we are both saving money to buy a house and we have credit card bills to pay off. I really hate getting older; it comes with too many responsibilities. The cool part is the independence though. I can tattoo whatever then hell I want now (pending husbands approval, hes just wants me to fix the crap I have before I get into inking anything else and I agree)
I am planning on going to the nicest studio in my city; to kill my BAD tattoo ASAP. I am approaching this very methodically and I will talk to as many artists as I need to to guarantee this tat will be reworked into something beautiful and I want to be proud of it. I feel that since I am critical of my appearance and body why should be adornments be any different? Good grief, I give myself too much work to do sometimes.
This $ is such a relief. Ill post the before and after pics when that digity camera comes in!
