Doesn't Really Matter

Me & Keith got ourselves a tattoo each at this place called 'Borneo Ink' in Sri Hartamas last week.

I thought of posting the picture of our tattoos here but I'm afraid people might start copying the designs. Because, by right tattoo is a very personal thing, so whatever you tattoo on your body it should be something unique, personalised and it should carries a special meaning to that individual.

But, these days, many people are doing it because it is an 'IN' thing so it has become meaningless and we certainly don't want others to spoil it by copying our design.

Well, I did a naked Butterfly Fairy at the back of my right shoulder. I really love it very much. The reason why I tattooed a Butterfly Fairy is because firstly, I love insects, secondly, butterflies signify 'Transformation' and it is a benchmark for me of the transformation I've gone through over the years especially in this year itself. And, of course the Fairy represents myself.

However, my eldest sis-in-law asked me a question yesterday evening (as I'm writing this after midnight) whether I ever worry that what if when I wear something that display my tattoo some parents might come and question me or scold me of showing 'pornography' as their children might be curious & anxious to know what's on my back.

Errr...... I did thought about that question but then.... like I care! It's my tattoo and it is on my body, so no one has the right to question me. Pornography or not, well, to me it is a form of art, thus, there's nothing to be shameful about. Many famous and great painters also painted naked women portrait, so can anyone scold them or question them why they draw naked women? NO. Coz it's ART and you don't view it in a lustful way. Furthermore, I think women's curves are to be admire and its definitely a great piece of art created by God Himself.

So, it really doesn't matter to me. If some people find it offensive then just don't look at it.

If any of you are interested in getting a tattoo but not sure where to go to, I strongly recommend Borneo Ink. They are very professional and their workmanship is very very nice as long as you are willing to pay the price.

And one more thing, they are quite arrogance (usually artistic people do have their own attitude and ego) but if you are easy going then they would be very nice also. But, if you try to be nasty, then be prepared to face the consequences. They are nice people, just that they would not entertain or tolerate any non-sense.
