When I made the first tattoo, it was gentle flower on my back, my mother asked: “Is this a decal?”, I answered yes, my grandmother tried to clean it with a fingernail, because “it didn’t fit decent girls...”, the man said: “you are like in prison”. When I made my second tattoo, my mother said: “It's beautiful, is it forever?”, I answered yes, the man said: “You are incredible,” a friend asked for the tattoo artist’s phone, and her daughter asked when she could also make a tattoo. Tattoo on a man is courageously, attractively (especially if there are muscles under it). Tattoo for women is decoration. This has long been no prison and not marines. It is rather like a very beautiful earring or a ring that means something. But even more important is the feeling that gives a tattoo, even if it is hidden from prying eyes. Like beautiful clothes. Nobody knows that you are wearing black lace or beige silk, but you know ... And you feel like a goddess, and immediately look different, and the walk is harder. When you want to captivate, you can wear an open T-shirt, and then the rose petal or butterfly wing will look out flirtatiously and ... it’s like a wink, it doesn’t mean anything, but it draws you away. And when you do not need to lure, you can just wear a shirt or a long skirt, if the tattoo is not on the forehead. I heard the myth that tattoos are for masochists, sort of like: “who will willingly endure such pain!” Firstly, the pain is not so bad, for masochists it is not enough, it’s better than a whip. Secondly, in general, ears, too, pierce unpleasantly, beauty requires sacrifice. And prison romance has nothing to do with it. Couples make the same tattoos to swear in love, parents stuffed the names of children (David Beckham, for example). When I did the tattoo, there was a doubt that in a prominent place it could interfere. If suddenly I will work as a big boss in a bank or become a model. But I will not, I will not, why should I deprive myself! And in a fit of doubt, I asked the master: “Listen, and I after all will be a grandma?!” “You will be a very cool grandmother”, the master laughed. Recently, my son and I saw a very tattooed granny-foreigner. Tanned and all in pictures, obviously different in time. “Cool grandma”, I said with my son in a voice. Now about men. When a man says he does not like girls with tattoos, he may not like other girls with tattoos. It is his right. On his, his beloved, the tattoo looks different. I can’t imagine a normal man in love who “turns the horses” at the sight of a clover on the lady's leg. One my unmarried girlfriend is afraid of making a tattoo: what if I meet a dream man, and he will say: “Yuck” to my owl on the shoulder... If he says “yuck” to an owl, then he will say “yuck” to your short haircut and to your veganism. I think when they say “yuck”, it's not about tattoos. Thanks for reading, and what do you think about tattoos on woman's body? Victoriya
