Hey everyone welcome back. This will be my last post of the year. I am finally graduating and moving on to the real world. This blog has been very interesting. At some points it did get very difficult to keep on thinking about things to type but it all worked out in the end. Unfortunately I never really read anyone's blog so I really do not know what anybody else did or how they approached this. For me though I really enjoyed this blogging and it really helped me to express my feelings on everything and it helped me to show people the good sides about body art. I really loved the fact that we got to choose anything that we wanted to write about and not be assigned to what we would have to write. I think that with us able to choose topics that many people actually liked this homework and really did not look at it as homework. I feel as though that it was not really homework because I would even get on it my own and type stuff in when ever I felt like it. It made it so I could get a good grade and also say everything that I wanted to without being judged on it. That is why I liked the fact that are names were not involved in this process so that people could not judge you on what you were writing because I know that if the name would have been present than there might be a few people upset with me and that would not be very good. In the long run though this was a very good idea to blog and I would recommend everyone to at least try it once. It really is not that bad at all and it is a way to get a good grade with out it feeling like it is a grade. So this is my fair well to you all and I hope that everyone enjoyed reading this blog and liked it. Thank you!

Hey everyone welcome back this time I am going to talk about people getting gang sign tattoos. Many people know that many places consist of gangs now of days and that it is hard to truly find a place where there is no single gang around. When getting into the gang many people think that it is cool to get the gang sign tattoo onto them or even the tear drop below the eye to show that they have killed or helped in the killing of someone. I really do not understand why they feel as if they need to get all of the signs tattooed onto them, because what if you later regret your choice of joining the gang and what are you really suppose to do with all the tattoo signs of them if you decide to leave the gang. Many people who are leaders of the gang say that when you leave your group then your artwork comes off and unless you can find a good place to run and hide to and live with out them finding you they will remove that skin that has there gang sign on it to show that you are no longer welcome. I feel as if many of these young kids need to truly think about it before they decide to get a gang sign tattooed onto them because how do you really think you are going to make it in the real world if you are affiliated with gangs.

Hey so this time I am going to talk about the tattoo that my boyfriend is wanting to get done some time soon. He has one on his arm of his initials and he either wants to get a grim reaper on his arm sitting on the initials or else he is going to place it in the middle of his back and have the words living going above it and sacrifice underneath of it. I think that it is really going to be a sweet tattoo right now he is saving up the money for it because it is probably going to be close to eight hundred dollars. He is going to have the skeleton be either black or green with it hold the famous knife or some kind of thing that is usually associated with the grim himself. And then he is not quite sure yet though on what color he is going to have the letters be but what ever he decides to do I think it will look very good on him and he knows it will to. He is not sure though where it will look the best at but I think the whole idea of him getting it on the back would look very good. I just think adding it to the other tattoo will really crowd that side of his arm a little to much and he will end up not liking the placement of it later on down the road. But he will decide it all out himself some time soon. Well I will post again in the next couple of days. It time to take a break and get some food.

Hey everyone welcome back well this time I am going to talk about people who get there lips tattooed. I really do not understand the whole thing people sometimes are just either crazy for tattoos and can not think of any other place to get them done at. Or are really trying to hind the tattoo from either a loved one or a father or mother who are totally against the idea of people getting tattoos. Do they not understand though that after three to five years that it will fade away? With skin being that wet all the time really makes it so that the ink really tends to come out way before you really want it to. In a way somewhat though it is a good idea if you do not want a tattoo for that long and rather just take the time to see if you like the idea of tattoos or not in the period of time because you know it will slowly begin to fade away. Though watching the shows now of days on television you see many people who are now getting more and more tattoos on there lips than needed. It seems that since more and more people are getting tattoos more and more people feel like they need to be more original with the placement of their tattoos and more and more people begin to get them on the face or behind the ear just to be a little different from everyone else. Which I kind of have to agree with them that way to many people now of days are getting everything done in well known spots. So some just switch it up a bit.

This time I am going to post some photos of some ideas for my sleeve and always the arabic wirting that my brother got done on his chest. I have not posted photos in a while because I have mostly been talking about my friends and my tattoos and it is kind of hard to show you guys photos when I do not have a digital camera and my mother really does not trust me with hers because it was like 500 dollars and she does not want anything bad to happen to it at all.

This first photo is going to be of some ideas for my sleeve.

This one is of a cherry bloosom and this one is of a rose branch.And I will have to find out exactly what the design looks like on my brothe before I post it on here that was I do not write it wrong

Alright so this time I am going to talk about a tattoo that I really want to get some time soon but will not have the money for it for a long time. It is going to be a sleeve tattoo of rose or cherry blossoms going down my whole arm with maybe one or two birds in the background. The problem though is that I some how have to find a way to come up with 1500 dollars and then I have to find the time to have it done because Jason said it will take a good three days of work and when they say three days of work it is actually going to be four to five months of work because after a full day of work they have to give it a month to a month and a half to fully heal again before they can dig into the skin again that way you are to horrible sore the whole time. I came up with the idea when I went to my freshmen orientation at Kirkwood and say this girls arm who had started making a tree going down her arm and it really did look amazing. Though she was going for the whole black look and was not going to add any color into it at all which looks good on some people but I know personally that I would like to have mine done in color since I am so pale and keeping it all black would make it stand out way to much. Even though I am going to stand out all on my own by having a sleeve but with the new generation today many people are becoming full of tattoos. So in some way I will be like everyone else.

Hey everyone welcome back. Well recently nothing really exciting has been going on in my life but my brother did end up getting a tattoo this weekend and it actually does not look half bad from where he got it from. It is a tattoo of Love written in Arabic and it is on the upper part of his chest. He went and got it done last Friday and he had it done at Clovers. I really do not know how well they do tattoos but I do know that they are really good at doing piercings. That is where I went to get all of my piercings at and they really do do a good job at those. I just do not know any one else besides my brother who has gone there to get tattoos they are more known for there piercing skills. They are very friendly people though. And they did tell him that if he needed any touch ups and they would be free for six months so that is always good to have. It states that they will really back up there work they do. When he came home though and showed me the tattoo I could have sworn that it was fake and he was trying to get me in trouble once he showed our dad his tattoo. I know if I was to show my dad my tattoo he would literally kick me out of the house but yet when he should our dad he did not even freak out on him at all he actually liked it. Which I think is very unfair because he has told me a million and one times if I ever got any tattoo I would be out on the streets and would have to pay for my own college. But whatever you can somewhat tell who is the favorite with him. It happens though. I am proud of my brother though on actually going and getting a tattoo because body art is a brilliant way to show your artistic side.
