So I'm pretty darn close to getting another tattoo. I've been wanting a Ganesh for almost 2 years now and I feel like I've waited long enough. I'm just a bit confused whether I'm going to follow my original plan or not. See, I have a Buddha on my left side (and it's simple) and I planned on having a simple Ganesh on my right side. HOWEVER, I realize that Ganesh means too much to me and I'd rather get an intricate Ganesh on the back of my right shoulder...the problem is, I don't know what to get on my right side to balance out the Buddha. Perhaps a lotus flower or a sun? I JUST DON'T KNOW. So I shall wait until I figure everything out before taking on another permanent stamp (licked on by kittens).
I wish my parents accepted my tattoos. They're a part of me. I put careful thought and consideration into each and every one of my tattoos and they mean so much to me. Kanika was able to just walk up to my mom and show her the OM; I wish I could do that. I've lived on my own for 1.5 years as of right now and I'm still a young child in my parents' eyes. I mean, I love my parents and I respect them but when will they start respecting me as an adult woman capable of making decisions? I'm almost 20 years old and I still have an 11pm curfew at home (did I mention I'm not allowed to sleep over anywhere except my house?). The day will come when they see my tattoos and I can guarantee that it will not be a pretty sight for anybody that day. All I can do is hope that one day my parents will understand that these tattoos express who I am and what I've been through better than I ever could.
They see flaws and I see perfected self expression.
It's 3:20am and I should be studying for finals but alas, the motivation doesn't strike. ONWARD MARCH
