and one day I'll be fearless

Oh how I wish I could follow this advice,

But for me the unknown is what scares me the most.

Like when I was going to get my tattoo,

(which I'm still working on TWO months later, stupid people)

the pain isn't what freaked me out.

I was aware it was probably going to hurt,

I can handle pain.

What frightened me was the fact that, besides painful, I didn't know how it would feel.

Would it tickle (probably not)

Would it hurt a LOT,

Would it hurt a little.

No one could really tell me either because for everyone its different.

Everyone has a different tolerance.

And that's what frightened me the most.

I guess my life goal is to stop being afraid of the unknown.

p.s.

go to the blog address at the bottom of the picture,

good stuff!

It shoots fine on every other day of the week too

I used to never want a tattoo.

I loved tattoo's,

I just didn't think they were my thing.

Over the years I've changed my mind.

But I still don't think I'm ever going to want a BIG tattoo.

It just doesn't fit who I am.

I'm not really someone who is ever going to have

a huge sleeve on there arm.

I'm not against them,

like I said,

it just doesn't fit who I am.

The tattoo's I want each have a symbolic meaning

and are in places that aren't easy to see.

So when I'm a grandparent

and wrinkly

{yuck}

They will be easy to hide if I no longer want to show them.

BUT!

If I ever did get a pretty big tattoo,

I would definitely get this one.

I love it.

I grew up watching westerns with my grandparents

and at a young age I fell in love with the female

heroins in there pretty dresses

hiding there guns in there garters,

and I knew I wanted to grow up and be just like them.
