signs on skin

[wildestranger]

Lately, I have been thinking about getting another tattoo. And okay, this might have something to do with the many, many pictures of Frank Iero that I've been forced to look at recently, but I have also become more curious about the aesthetics of tattoos - what makes tattooed skin beautiful? Is it beautiful? What does it mean when you put such signs on your skin? What does it say about you?

I've had my one tattoo for seven years now, I've not regretted it once but I've also not been tempted to get more. If I do decide to go for it, there will have to be a lot of thinking and discussing and practising with permanent markers first.

And while I do that, here's a poll. ;)

What do you think about tattoos? Your own, other people's? On shoulders, bellies, thighs, on Pete Wentz's hipbones, on Frank Iero's arms? What makes a tattoo sexy, or not? What makes it interetsing?

I've got two tattoos - a stylised flower in black line on my left shoulder, and I just got "I think someone will remember us" in black in the middle of my back.

Where is that line from? Sounds interesting.

It's a line from Sappho. The full quote is actually "I think that someone will remember us in another time."

When it's healed, I'll stick it up.
