Tits For Tats...

.... Well yes, the name is purely a clickbait, a moment of linguistic wittiness so to say😂...

Regardless, I do have something quite serious to talk about today...

Tattoos...

They are all the rage nowadays...
I've looked at and seen some of my friends that have a tattoo or two (tattooses?) and I've been looking on in awe and perhaps a little envy.

I've always wanted a tattoo although due to my parents persistent nagging advices on the subjects, I've refrained from such worldly desires..
Doesn't mean I can't look lustily at the tattoo that was peeping out of the busty woman's bossom which the shirt she wore had a hard time keeping in. That enlightening and slightly enjoyable incident brought inspiration for this post and the topic.

I have in fact made up my mind to get a tattoo, of course this would be a deliberate deference of my parents wishes but I'll be sure to do it at a time when their voices of discontent would be nothing more than slight ignorable annoyances.
To be honest, I've already been looking at designs and some have really caught my eyes.

Now, I know something as openly excessive as this would remove me from the family registry. Despite that, I'm sure we can all admit that it is awesomely dope🔥🔥
Trafalgar D. Water Law's tattoos are surely up there in top 50 most stylish tattoo concepts of all time.

A tattoo, though is more than just looking pretty and cool. It's a permanent mark that's given (mostly) willingly on your skin and it does.. it should mean something.
Trafalgar's tattoos do mean something too although, as I'm not an anime character nor have any sad, touching story of betrayal and revenge on pirates yet, it's not a tattoo meaning that I could relate too.

Regardless, the search must continue, a tattoo idea which is both stylish and has a deep meaning.
When I went online to search, I came across a wide range of celebrity tattoos.
Some that I immediately fell in love with, some incredibly detailed and some so minimalistic that it could be a scratch.
Of the ones that I loved the best were...

- The Skyline Guitar from Shawn Mendes

---

This is one tattoo that is easy to be undervalued or underestimated. At first, when I noticed it, I just thought it was pretty cool as a guitar is a pretty cool tattoo choice.
Not until now, as I looked into it in preparation for this post do I realize the amount of thought and the intricacy of this drawing.
This tattoo, beautifully designed is made up of trees and plants, and fans out in the shape of his birth town Toronto's skyline. Apparently, the top of the guitar also depicts a soundwave of his parents voices.
This is one drawing that fully exhudes the worlds of symbolic and aesthetic. The love for music, family and home.

- Lines, Names and Family from Bradd Pit

---

Now this is one that really surprised me, the fact that Bradd has so many tattoos on him and I can't recall seeing any one on television.
It seems that he mostly keeps it covered up and only hardcore fans that follow him and all his news are able to know of his inklage.
Regardless, after briefly going through his list of tattoos, this is the one that truly spoke to me.
A tattoo with the initials of his ex-wife and kids.
It's as minimalistic as it is symbolic. Although his relationship with Angelina didn't work out, he isn't striking her out, she is still the mother of his children and it's permanently noted there on his forearm.

- Mercy from Nick Jonas

---

The idea of tattooing a single word, phrase or quote is one that is appealing to me.
A tattoo whose meaning is multiple and can be taken in numerous forms yet can still be aesthetic and nice to look at, that's what Nick managed to do with this one.
The meaning behind this tattoo isn't known, yet everyone can guess and choose a meaning for themselves, that's what I feel.

---

There are numerous other tattoos on different celebrities, although my favorite that I've seen so far are these three and if I do ever get one, it'll be something like these.
Regardless, until that time comes, one can never know....
