To tattoo or not to tattoo...THAT is the question?!?!?!?!

http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4641352332948409936#editor/target=post;postID=2708228528244890616Nowadays er'body and their mom have tattoos. I don't. And that's ok. And I could die today and be completely satisfied with being tattoo-less, BUT...


I've always said I want a butterfly tattoo on my butt

 Now I am like maybe not on my butt, but somewhere. Is it sad that my thing for butterflies came about from the same album I talk about in the last blog...Mariah and Butterfly...but it wasn't the song that inspired me. 


It would actually happen later on in life when Mariah started flaunting her gold and silver butterfly rings. 
 
Those rings were glamorous and shinny. From there I was all about butterflies...and for me it started with just rings and grew to necklaces and then earrings and now most people identify the butterfly with me too. LOL!!! Moving on...the point is I don't think the butterfly will be leaving my life...and if I had one tatted on me I wouldn't look at it 20 years from now and be like: Damn, WHY!!!! Plus I am already almost 30...my frontal lobe should be fully developed and I should be able to handle a decision. So then the problem? Permanency. Tattoos are pretty much forever and one thing about me I am not a forever person. (I guess in marriage but I am not married now so...go figure). I don't get weaves or braids now because 2 weeks to 3 months is too long for my hair to stay the same. My nail polish color changes almost every two days...a week if I'm slippin' so how will i feel when I can't wash the tat away? 
The next problem is, the tattoo artist. Obviously this is someone you trust. In a shop that is clean cause Hepatitis spreads with tats my friend. Not to mention the other STDs/Is that are passed through blood. I think this was my mom's biggest concern. I am more concerned about the person in charge to do the tat. I know a place but I still hesitate. 
Money and Pain are not a concern. Money I am starting to make a little here and there to spare, and $50 to $100 on something would just mean I don't have $50 to $100 to spend on more shoes and clothes. Pain...hahaha...what pain...when it comes to pain I am a G...because I have been through pain....


I think this is pretty.
Now the question is where can it go?  When I told my ex about having a butterfly tat on the boo-tae he was too thrilled more like annoyed with the thought. Problem with tats are the fact to a small portion of people they are still slightly unprofessional. I am a teacher and no one thinks of their teacher to have tats, at least I don't. To be honest my idea of a tat is for it to be in a place where only my boyfriend/husband can enjoy it. Hence the photo seen here.... 
So legs, arms, hands, feet, shoulders, upper back, and ankles all out of the question. That leaves the tummy, thighs, and the lower back aka the tramp stamp...OUT of the question as well!!! Once again hence the pic, I love it, but to have a tattoo artist that close to my lil princess is not so cool. There has to be a good medium here. Over I am really thinking about it like really thinking, not just saying: "Oh I want a tat." Like really thinking! To decide. It a big decision, for me at least. But when I look at the butterfly I feel it could happen....
