So the other day I compared the way I try to manage my body and my heartbeat during the tattoo process and during a therapeutic massage.
Today, I will comare tattoos to something else--story telling. When I was running with a resident member of Team Christopher's Place Back on My Feet on Sunday, we were talking about tattoos. I described the story behind my tattoo. The story is now with me all the time. A constant reminder of the themes that were important. And, as a talking point, the way to share those points with others.
My friend mentioned that the story was a good one. And that each tattoo is there for a reason. Something we needed to remember. Something we needed to be reminded of. Some big event in our lives. He had a rather philosophical view of tattoos and I was quite impressed.
So as people now ask me whether I think I will ever get another--I answer--first, when I have enough money, and second when I have another story that is so important for me to tell.
