Bangs Gets Tattooed

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

I got my tattoo when I was 17. The first among my friends to do so. I was the coolest chick on the block (according to a survey I did which involved only me). I had planned it out for weeks on end, my parents (because they are the coolest parents known to mankind) helped me pick out the design. I was obsessed with Japan and always loved Kanji, so I settled on the Kanji symbol for ‘Love’, which was my positive, uplifting message to the world. The first few years, I didn’t mind it, then I reached a point where I was embarrassed by it. Speak to any tattooed woman in her late 20s/early 30s and somewhere around 1998, we all just went Kanji crazy – there are legions of us. I knew I wouldn’t be able to stand the pain of having it lasered off, so I thought I’d get it covered. I wanted to go through the next phase of my life with a belly I wasn’t embarrassed to look at.
