Indelible Ink

Monday, July 05, 2010

For as long as I remember I have always been intrigued by tattoos and piercings. I think it's an amazing thing to be able to decorate yourself with what I consider to be art. Sadly, however, a lot of people don't feel the same way. For example, in today's society it's not typical to see a successful lawyer with sleeves and other visible tattoos; which is a bummer, since I want to be a part of both worlds [inked, and law].

Let's go back in history for a minute; the first tattoos date back as far as the 4th and 5th centuries within the Germanic, Celtic and other European tribes, but the tattoos we have now have their roots in Polynesia--they were popular with sailors, the spread to the western world! So there is is: tattoos aren't just for inmates and bikers!
