Retrospective Perspective

Ink and holes...

The other day I looked at the remaining piercings that I have left and I mentally decided that when I tone my tummy that I'm going to loose the navel piercing. It's real subtle and really acts as like a very basic accessary, but I'm ready to let it go. Finally. I've had it for about 8 years now. That's long enough. Right?

I then began thinking why did I get it in the first place. And I still can't answer that. Then I started thinking about why I got any of my piercings and any of my tattoos. People always ask what mine mean and I've never really been able to come up with much. Maybe it's because the people who are asking really don't deserve an answer in the first place. It's always people who really don't have tattoos or have little trendy ones. People who are really tatted up don't really ask.

I LOVE my tattoos, they are apart of me. They represent stages of my life and still frames of my struggle. I don't think that I realized that before. I don't think that I've ever gotten one aimlessly (well maybe one, lol), nor have I gotten one on some quest to be deep. It's like I get them at the most subconsciously perfect timing.

I want to get one this spring. I just feel like I'm not finished yet. I'll be finished soon. I think. Either way, I'll keep it moving getting them just when the timing is right...

*Sigh*

Aww Keylolo U growin up! Not so much in the mature sense (cuz u already grown there) but growin up in the "knowing who you are" sense! I had a tongue piercing LOL don't ask why I did that one UGH but I rocked it for a few years and I knew it was time to let it go when I was in meetings and men were looking in my mouth instead of listening to what I was saying. I have a pantha on my tidday, chinese lettas on my back and a buttafly behind my ear. I want another 1 as well but I'll wait on that!
