If i could have one wish right now it would be to have an entire week.. make that month.. where not one single person would comment me on my tattoos.
I mean really... is it *that* shocking to see a girl with a full sleeve? I think to some people it has to be.. either that or they've never ventured 30 miles outside their podunk middle of bum-fuck nowhere town to see a diverse community that does not all where overalls and straw hats and think a tweety bird tattoo is the shit.
Today we went shopping. every single place we went into at least one person said something about my tattoos.. asking if they're real, telling me they're very pretty, asking if they hurt, or just plain staring for 10 minutes like i'm not a fucking person that can see them staring!
seriously, i'm sick of it.
i didn't get them so people could talk to me about them. i got them (and will continue to get them) because i like them. because i think they're beautiful. because they're something that can remind me of a time in my life or a person i care about or something i truly adore..
not so you can oggle me and feel it's ok to touch them. THEY'RE FUCKING SKIN YOU IDIOT! touch your own arm, i bet it feels the same.. unless you're a man and in that case the only difference is that yours is hairier.
i forget that i have them sometimes because i'm so used to them at this point... i just wish other people would forget too.
