The Lovely World of Tattoos

Tattoos. What beautiful, beautiful things. We have been given a way to express ourselves by putting art on our bodies however we choose; they have the ability to show our personalities, what we like, how we feel about something, etc.

Last night I was in Austin with one of my best friends who attends St. Edwards University. I was recommended by my own tattoo artist, Joseph Ayala, to James Yocum, an artist at a parlor called Great Wave. This is where I received my fifth tattoo: the Scorpius constellation.

I hear all the time to slow down. "You have your whole life to get tattoos." Since I turned 18 a little over a year ago, I've gotten a new tattoo every three months, roughly. And I intend to continue down this path. I have a million and one ideas of what else I'd like to add. I've always been fascinated by tattoos, ever since I started going with my parents to get theirs. So when I turned of age,
 I got to a tattoo shop as soon as I possibly could and have been going under the needle every since.

Yes, I know some jobs are still weird about visible ink, I get this from friends and family all the time. However, these are not jobs I'd like to be at. It is now 2017; tattoos should no longer be considered taboo and if a job is stuffy enough to not hire me because of my body art, then I shouldn't waste my time there.
