needles & pins
it's a rainy day at work today, so I'm googleing around to find tattoo motives. the last time I had anything permanent done to my body has been quite some time, so I'm looking around to see if anything appeals to me; I think I'm in need to mark a new era.
I had my first earrings shot when I was 6 years old, but the one in my right ear kept getting infected, so I had to take it out in primary school and just kept the left one. when I got older, I had the right ear shot through again. and again. and again....
between age 17 and 22 I had various other spots of my body pierced. I still wear 6 earrings in each ear mounting up to a total of 12... when I was 18, I had my nose pierced on the left side. I started out wearing a red pin, but that got uncomfortable fast, so I changed it to a silver hoop... after I got older and my paycheck bigger, I exchanged that one for a 12-karat gold ring.
a fortnight before my 20th birthday I got myself a tattoo on my left shoulder/arm. it's a black tribal dragon, the size of a pack of cigarettes, for the year I was born in (chinese year of the dragon).
for my 21st birthday, I had my belly button pierced, but since it kept interfering with the waistband of any pants I'd wear, it kinda started to get nasty; it grew out and the skin that held it in place got thinner and thinner, so I had to take it out after some months. I still have a little scar on top of my bellybutton left over (not that I don't have dozens of scars on my body besides that one, heh)
so basically, the 10-year-span has come and gone and I'm getting restless.
well, okay, I could loose 30 kilos and change my weight permanently, but where's the fun in that????
