Why A Blog?

I went back and forth about whether or not to actually write a blog, trying to decide if it was cliche or not, and decided no, it is therapeutic for me and also who knows maybe my weird sense of humour might even cheer someone else up when they're having a shitty day! So whether you can relate or you just want a laugh feel free to browse and read....get to know me and maybe even get to know something about yourself along the way?!

Dear Non-Tattooed People!!

As I'm sure you can tell by the title of this post you may have to Prepare for my rant of the day!! 

Dear Non-Tattooed People,

I AM NOT A THREAT TO SOCIETY!! Can you please stop judging me? No, I'm not an ex-con or a future convict for that matter! and no you don't need to hide your wives or hide your children!! No I'm not part of a biker gang and NO i don't worry about how my tattoos will look when I'm older!! I'm 24 years old!! Older is a looooonnnggg way away, and i don't do regrets, everything happens for a reason! 

I should point out that I am not covered from head to toe in tattoos, not that i judge those who are, i have a few strategically placed tattoo that I chose to get and that were entirely my decision! I got my first tattoo at 18 which was the agreement i had with my parents, and from then it has been a yearly tradition to get a tattoo or piercing done! The majority of my piercings and tattoos can be easily hidden with clothing, but there's two that are constantly getting on peoples nerves! My small tattoo behind my ear and also my neck piercing! The issue I have with this is that it appears that before i had these done I apparently appeared to the world to be a normal run of the mill country girl whereas now I'm a rebel without a cause? Am I the only one who doesn't see the link?

Now if you look back over the list of things that i wanted to get done this year, getting both another tattoo and piercing was on that list. So far I have gotten the tattoo and again its small and tasteful and easily hidden (cas i can hear my mother in my ear, you're gonna be a teacher Caroline) and I'm glad that i did. BUT i cant get rid of the constant niggle that keeps coming up when people mention tattoos or piercings as it if automatically makes you a horrible person and wait for it.......breaking news I'm the exact same as every other person! I don't suddenly have an urge to stab people or rob a bank because i got a tattoo! And while I'm on the subject what gives people the right to comment on my appearance just because I have tattoos? I don't comment about people who don't have them! There is no need to be rude people!!!! NO NEED!!




That is all!
Peace Out
