    Default My desire for new tattoos and my pathetic social hang up

    I can only type this here because no one knows me in RL and this train of thought is so childish it really embarrasses me. Allow me to vent.

    So I made another thread a while back about wanting to get largish tattoos on both of my biceps for my birthday. Well, today is my birthday and I'm going to get it done this weekend but I have an issue I just need to say to someone.

    The design itself, and this is the pathetic part. it has 2 common elements with the tattoos of a person i dont like at all. i made a thread about a girl who tried to steal my boyfriend early in our relationship (that still secretly causes tension for me).
    yeah, her tattoos.

    one element is a skull - which i realize isnt original at all. i want to get it because my brothers first tattoo (when I was in 4th grade) was of a skull and it made me love tattoos and count the years until I could get one of my own. I wanted to get a skull tattoo tribute to my brother years ago - but she beat me to it and it is also placed on her bicep were my brothers is/i want to get mine.

    the second is one of the skulls having an eye patch - because my father is blind in one eye and wears an eye patch. she has tacky/trendy new school pirate pin-up girl on her leg. I feel like it might be misconstrued as a pirate tattoo instead of a tattoo of my father.

    and this is were i feel even more psycho - i had a burlesque pin-up on my leg which i know she had seen at least 6 months before her pin-up tattoo. I felt that she was "copying" me slightly, so maybe thats why I'm so concerned with NOT copying her (because I really dont want anything to do with her) but I also dont want some dumb slut to make my tattoo experience less special. because those things - though common elements - are very personal to me.

    i dont know what im saying anymore.
    its my birthday, im 25. But I have the social skills and experience of a 10 year old.
    i also had margaritas for breakfast

    yay.

    First of all... Happy Birthday!


    Secondly, The reasons for getting the designs you have chosen are yours and yours alone. The have a meaning to you and that's all that matters. I've seen plenty of tattoos that I don't get, or may even seem stupid to me but it has meaning to the one who has it.

    She's not the first person, and damn sure won't be the last, to get a skull tattoo on her bicep, just as you're not the only one with a pin up on your leg, hell. I've got a pirate pin up on my leg!

    Go ahead and get the design you want, you should get tattooed for you, and no one else.

    that sounds so cute!
    maybe you could get a banner with 'daddy' or something in the vein above the skull with the eyepatch? or some other small detail to personalize it a little?

    There is nothing exceptionally personal in getting a skull tattoo, as they are extremely common. Have you considered designing your own tattoo and doing something different? If you and the 'girl' see each other often, it may not be that people think or she thinks that you copied her but it may annoy you to be reminded of her tats.

    I LOVE tattoos.....but you just have to consider how permanent they are, so enjoy completely and be really sure of what you want.

    Happy Birthday by the way!

    YES.
    Im getting hearts with banners that say "mom" and "dad" on each arm too.
    my mom just emailed me to say she is getting her first tattoo this birthday (the day before mine) too so I think it will be really special.

    i had an idea to get diamonds tattooed behind my ears, and found out afterwards there are other people with it done, but mine look better

    there are few tattoo ideas out there that have not been done. as long as your not blatently copying someones original art, then fuck it.

    "the best revenge is living well"

    so she's copying you.
    so what. That only matters if people link the two of you together, and you can always explain your intentions and point out how she copied you.

    But really-- when you get to the point where you have very common tattoos you either have to
    a. make them incredibly original in some way
    or
    b. just accept that probably several million people have a similar tattoo in a similar spot.

    you need to work on getting this girl out of your head because it would be a shame to always associate her with YOUR tattoos.

    happy b-day!
