I keep staring

e_julianaAt this picture of my tats.
Actually, at the larger picture that shows more skin.
When I look at my back in the mirror, I don't see the variations in skin tone. Oh, I see some, of course, but not the almost mottled quality that occurs in the pictures. In the pictures, I can pick out where my waistband normally rides, old bruises that have left their mark, and just general life scars.
Looking at my tattoos forces me to contemplate a side of my self that I don't normally see and the subtle variations thereof. I kind of like that. To quote Alexa, "I've gone and found deeper meaning".
So.
I have to find my next tattoo. I have to decide what I want to commemorate or remind myself of next.

Date: 2004-04-08 09:19 am (UTC)I've been thinking about getting a tattoo of the Kanji symbol for hope over a scar on my back...the thinking behind it that even when I don't have hope, I have hope. We'll see if I ever go through with it...
