Ink

Before I got the small flower tattoo on my right foot, the plan was to get a five-pointed star, in black outline. But as we were wandering around clothing boutiques beforehand, I found a sundress that I loved, and decided that my expected tatt would not go with this outfit. I didn't get the dress that day or the star, and my companions thought I was silly.

Today I saw a woman with the very star I had wanted for so long, and it was quite attractive on her because it fit her whole persona. My star didn't go with the dress I loved was because it didn't go with me. I'm gentle and soft and natural. Those pointy edges were inconsistent. I think you can look at other people's tattoos as well and know whether or not they considered who they are when they decided on their body art.
