Would Knowing I Had a Tattoo Change Your Perception of Me?
I have two
tattoos. One is of a lighthouse and one
is of a dolphin – both are on my inner ankles.
I’m certainly not
ashamed of them, but felt their locations on the inner ankle provided the best
spot for combating future sagginess and of course, discretion.
You might wonder why
I’m concerned about discretion if I’m not ashamed of them.
Well, regardless of
who I am on in the inside, I work in a semi-professional work environment and
instead of being judged by my abilities and talent, I’m judged by my looks, what
I wear and how I act. We all are…
Unfortunately, we all
have to hide some of who we are in order to get ahead in life, to fit in or be
accepted by the general population. It’s
not a fact that I like or accept, but it’s a fact that I deal with. We all do…
These hidden pieces
of ourselves… are called secrets. Everybody has at least one.
Guess what? I’m getting another tattoo, but don’t tell anyone
– especially my new boss.
Some things
are better kept a secret…
Isn’t it pretty?
Comments
we do keep our secrets at times.
it is a way to protect oneself.
love your humor here.
Happy November.
My boss just had one done on the back of her neck, and she's a consultant psychologist (with short hair). She always marches to her own drum though and I respect her for it.
Where will it be residing?
I've wanted to get a tatoo for a long time, but am both scared and excited about it! What's holding me back though is the search need for the perfect design. Something that really speaks to ME. However did you choose? Did you draw them? My sister did for her first, and had an idea for the second which a Maori artist improved upon for her.
I don't know if I have enough self-confidence to pull one off... but if I did it would be on the outer side of an ankle!
lovely!
