I keep staring

At 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.

Sounds like it's time to do something about "together" or something, what with the getting married....UNLESS there's something bigger about the tats being all about you, yourself, alone (even with someone).
