Tattoos tell us a lot about a person because it’s not an easy feat to bear the pain of the needle. What people choose to etch permanently on their skin shows us exactly what they love. Having special memories of your beloved woven through your skin with ink says so much more about the bond you have than just carrying a photo in your wallet. They make a great topic to begin a conversation with too.

Who said tattoos can only be in the form of drawings or symbols? A lot of tattoo designs consist of words and phrases that are as beautiful to the eye as the most intricate ink painting. Word tattoos are as powerful as any other image you might want to put on your skin. And come to think of it, letters are also symbols, so if you are thinking of getting a word or a phrase tattoo, go for it!

I was into graffiti during junior high and high school. I spent most of my free time scribbling on paper. I majored in photography at college. I could only stand the profession my diploma enabled me to do for 3 months.
