Tattoo Comments.

I've been getting a lot of comments lately revolving around the idea of me later on regretting the tattoos I have. I find that to be such a crock of shit.

I never take things lightly, and to have something permanently etched in my skin was a decision I thought long and hard about. Each one I have already, and each one I'll be getting in the future, too. I have them planned and mapped out. I know what I'm doing and I know what I want my body to look like once I'm done with it all. I'm serious about it.

It takes a strong dedication and belief in what you're getting tattooed to even have it done in the first place. What I've got tattooed and what I will be getting are reminders of moments that shaped me. They are big parts of my life. And I'm a big music lover, it saved me every time, so pretty much every tattoo will be related to music in one way or another.

And even if later in life those events aren't so prominent, how can you regret something that once made you smile? Each piece I will be getting are all positive influences for me. I'm a visual person and if something is positive in energy, then it helps me stay positive, so the more of these, the better.

But there's one thing about these comments that really bugs me. How dare you judge the greatest moments of my life?! How dare you call them laughable by saying I'll regret them?! I don't go around telling you that you'll regret your career, children, marriage, etc. These events are important and life-altering to you. Well... same goes for my tattoos. They are about the moments that have made me feel the most alive. Saying I'll regret my tattoos is like saying I'll regret having lived. These events are what brought me to life. So you're saying I'm not good enough? What kind of snobby ass are you?!

I feel bad for those of you who have not had something so spectacular and life-changing happen to you that you'd want to carry a memory of it forever. You are truly missing out on what life is all about.

I hope you learn to be open-minded one day, especially open-hearted, so that you can finally see things for what they truly are : beautiful and life-altering.

I love my tattoos.
