1. Found the
image that I want to get tattooed on my body, check; 2. Know the place on my
body where I want to get the image tattooed, check; 3. This tattoo will allow
me to express my identity, uniqueness and maybe even enhance my body………………….not
really. Whether you got a tattoo for the
reasons listed above or for some other reason, it is more than likely that your
tattoo did not provide the climax that you thought it would. Yeah, for a little while it filled you with
joy, you made sure you bought clothing that would in some way provide the world
a peek into your “bundle of joy”. But as
time goes on, the exuberance of your “ink fashion” begins to fade(tattoos are
fashion statements for many people but the bad thing is that fashions change
and be come out dated), you barely even notice it, what you thought was cool a
couple of years ago is not even relevant to you or the world. So now, you need something new in your life,
you have the tattoo “itch”, you want to express to the world or maybe a few or
maybe yourself that you are unique and different(repeat cycle from above).
In life we
often mistake the forest for the trees, meaning that the thing that is staring
you right in the face, that which is most obvious, we miss. Your
life is your tattoo: no ink needed.
Your life is that thing that sets you apart, it is seen by all, it is
your uniqueness, it is the thing that most truly represents you and if you
invest it right, the fruit is joy forever more, it doesn’t fade…….a tattoo
could never do this.
Invest your
time and artistic creativity in the thing that matters most (life), not something that is going to leave you longing for more,
yet never fulfilled. The things of this
world will never compare to or even enhance that which you want most, life
(your life), why, because it is divinely given.
