First I’d like to apologize for not blogging in a long period of time. I know, most of you are quite upset. You’ll get over it soon though. If you don’t, consult a doctor. Or kill yourself, because I am just not that interesting enough for you to get upset when I don’t blog.
Most of you already know this, but I have been wanting a tattoo for awhile now. I couldn’t decide on what or where for the longest time though until recently. I’ve decided what I want, but pretty much everybody I tell says that it’s the dumbest idea ever. I know that a tattoo is for you and it makes you unique so it should only matter what you think about it and not what others think; I just always take into consideration what others think so I have yet to get it. So since nobody really approves of the idea, I’ve been trying to think of other things I could get but nothing is really as good as my original idea.
So what do I want to get permanently tattooed to my body? Well…I want the Windows flag on my shoulder. Yes, I am a huge geek. I’ve accepted that fact so I think it would be okay to get a tattoo which represents that fact where not many people would see it. I’ve always loved Microsoft and I really don’t think I would ever switch to Mac. I mean I may own a Mac one day but I very highly doubt I would make it my main computer. So at least I wouldn’t regret getting the tattoo since I will no longer like Windows. I just don’t see that happening anytime in my life. Unless Microsoft kills Windows and makes something completely different, which may eventually happen. But I would have the memory of a set of revolutionary operating systems on my shoulder for the rest of my life. It would be like having Bill Gates himself sitting on my shoulder calmly wispering in my ear, “yes, Windows happened and it was amazing.”
Since I haven’t gotten the approval I was hoping for, I started thinking of what else I could get. Really the only other “good” thing I thought of is my initials in binary. So “01000010 01001101 01001100″ would be somewhere on my body (probably either my shoulder or arm). I don’t like it as much as the Windows flag, but I think people would accept it more than the flag.
In the end, I will probably never get a tattoo. It’s just an idea and I like the fact of getting one. Maybe I’ll pull a Steveo and get a mural of Bill Gates on my entire back. That would be interesting.
Get what means the most to you whether people agree with you or not.
I’m getting one soon (or when I get done modeling if that ever pans out), and it’s going to be the swirly design I draw all the time down my left side and curving across the small of my back on the left. It’s pretty yes, but it doesn’t mean anything to anyone but me.
I’ve heard that before you get a tattoo, you should draw the tat (wherever it’s located) every single day for 3 months. after that period, if you’re still drawing it every day, and you’re not tired of it, then you should get the tattoo.
