Last night I was out with my girlfriends and ran into someone who randomly bought my friend and me drinks two years ago spotted us on the basis of my tattoo.
Creepy? A little!
Since I got my back piece, black eagle wing tattoo,
about two and a half years ago I’ve always loved
showing it off. But recent actions have made think a little deeper about having such a big, identifiable
tattoo.
I’ve come up with a couple pros and cons of having a distinguished tattoo:
- If someone changes physically, you can still pinpoint them in a crowd.
- If found as unconscious or dead, your body could be easily identified. Morbid, but true! Not only have I seen this on CSI, but there are several programs available for tattooing pets for identification.
- It’s typical to get a lot of interesting comments about your artwork.
- It could affect some future job functions and wardrobe decisions.
- Despite its rarity, prior to getting an MRI it wouldn’t be a bad idea to inform your doctor about large amounts of ink.
Overall, I wouldn’t change getting my tattoo for the world. Despite my complaints, I don’t mind the attention my tattoo occasionally brings.
Like most people, I just like being in charge of the amount and degree of attention. But like life, you can’t always get what you want.
So until next time,
Think twice. Ink once.
