ok so im planning on getting my first tattoo done some time soon to mark a turnign point in my life. The thing is I used to be really quite antisocial, well it's not that i didn't enjoy being around people i just always used to fuck it up and/or get really nervous and shut up. That changed when i went on holiday to Newquay with my mates in June to celebrate the end of the GCSEs(UK high school exams). We bought a pill of real nice MDMA each (all of our first) and went down to the beach where about 200 other random 16 year olds were all celebrating for the same reason as us. As i felt myself come-up it was the most amazing feeling of my life. I felt absolutely in love with the world and all the people around me. It was the first time i felt truly confident in myself and as I chatted to people my normally introverted and shy self evaporated and i was making deep connections to people i barely knew. Even as that short 3-4 hour high wore off i knew i could learn from that experience and improve myself and my social life. It was like feeling completely liberated for the first time in my life allowed me to cast off my chains and be myself without fear without the aid of the drug afterwards. So I'm sure you can all appreciate how profound that experience was for me and how it has developed me as a person and improved my life for the better. I now find it easy to make friends and to chat up girls, both of which i had trouble with before. Basically I wouldn't agree with getting any old tattoo done but the idea of getting the best thing that ever happened to me commemorated permanently on my skin just seems right, like it was meant to be. The fake ID bit can be sorted easily but i need some ideas for the design (and i want it to be elaborate, beatiful and breathtaking) and body part to tattoo. some background info to help you all brainstorm ideas: the pill i took was pink and had a cherry emblem on it. The location was a sandy beach. There were many people around me. I was with 3 friends. I met loads of amazing people. it was late at night. newquay is a surfer town. there were loads of fires on the beach. i had the best conversation ever with this other guy who was pillin'. I fell in love for the first time on that beach. i'd had one night flings with girls before but i met this girl who happened to come from the closest town from mine (so we got together after the holiday was over) and felt closer to her than anyone i'd ever met bar my best mate of 5 years.
wow! that is the most amazing story! so happy for you! everything will fall into place for the tat, just keep this love alive within yourself. thanks for sharing this epiphany with us.
generic......this is why (see above!) peeps sometimes are hesitant to be a part of social society! just ignore anything but love. love is the only thing that is real.
im thinking of getting it done on my shoulder. With me holding a giant cherry in my hands and walking forwards on a beach but across some dark/light divide into my future
