With free-will comes big responsibility and big thinking. We have to think of how we alter our bodies will affect our future.
I tattooed my fingers almost 5 years ago, (after graduating college), to commit to finding a job that involved some level of creativity and not in a cubical. I wanted the tattoos obviously, but I committed to being myself and pursuing a career in which I could do that.
Currently, (and forever), I’m an HR’s worst nightmare. Foul-mouthed, covered in pictures and lacking the skills to follow orders. The two qualities sandwiching the picture part pretty much already sealed my fate.
But I did think about it. What taking myself out of the cooperate market would do.
Each piece I get requires a decent amount of thought on my part. Is this really what I want? How will this affect me job wise, interacting with people wise, etc.?
Willy-nilly, fuck the world would be nice, but then you end up with this…
And really, the artist should have said, N-O, to both projects. I mean, come on.
But again, there’s that sneaky bitch, free-will and it’s pal, forethought.
So think before you ink.
The project I’m undertaking tomorrow afternoon took a lot of thought. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s reputation is a bit tarnished and misunderstood. It goes along with my even-steven, good and evil theme. I’ll explain tomorrow…
Maybe you’ll lump it in the Hanson category, maybe not. But seeing as it’s not a person, I think I’m safe.
Suspense!
