I got my first tattoo when I was 16. I snuck off and got an ankh on my ankle. I told my mom it was a henna.
I think of tattoos as a symbol of rebellion and a way to express yourself. But there are definitely times when I regret some of them.
Tattoos are the ultimate expression of individuality. They're your own canvas and your own story.
A tattoo is an affirmation: that this body is yours to have and to enjoy while you're here. Nobody else can control what you do with it.
I like tattoos because they're representative of your story. The things you've been through and the marks you've left on the world.
I do have tattoos – I got them when I was young, and I'm very lucky because I don't look ridiculous.
Tattoos are like a map of my life. I can look at a certain tattoo, and it represents a certain time in my life when I got it.
Your body is a temple, but how long can you live in the same house before you redecorate?
Tattoos have a power and magic all their own. They decorate the body but they also enhance the soul.
The only difference between a person with tattoos and a person without is this: a person with tattoos does not care if you do not have any.
