Don't get used to this, it's not turning into a weekly thing!
Never the less, I found this list at the bottom of groupon (why groupon had this list, I have still to determine)
"As society becomes more thoughtful and responsible, tattoos have become more popular than ever. This is thanks to a growing segment of the population that can reason a lifetime commitment to a visual interpretation of a philosophy or concept emblazoned on the ultimate canvas - the one stretched across their skeleton. What were the most popular tattoos of last year?
1. Mothers maiden name
2. Wolf howling at a yin-and-yang symbol (seriously?)
3. Thorny rose vines weaving around neck to form jaunty bow tie
4. Access code to bathroom at temp job
5. Toaster with piece of toast popping out, the word freedom burnt across the face of the toast
6. Skeleton wearing a top hat
7. Marilyn Monroe's character from The Seven Year Itch and Audrey Hepburn's character from Breakfast at Tiffany's with their heads reversed
8. Excerpt from poem about motorcycles
9. An anchor, to symbolize one's dream of becoming a news anchor"
Now, while I'm disgusted by the majority of these tatts, I have found a selection on pinterest that I adore. Do I like any of them enough to get one? Who knows.
That is the weirdest list ever. Most popular? really? Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while, I come across a tattoo that I love, but I'm too non-committal to be able to imagine having it on me for the rest of my life. Cassie Baldwin did a post about tats earlier in the summer, and most are font/text-based. I think if I got one, it would be something like one of these.

Please tell me you made up that statistic. A wolf... a toaster.... I am speechless, actually I take that back. All I have to say is WHAT THE HECK.
ReplyDeletei second lindsey! you really, really have to have made that list up. please, oh please tell me you did.
ReplyDeletei waited for years and finally got one, and i wish i hadn't. mine's even small and easily covered.
maybe that's the old lady in me (somewhere... you know, with the knitting and the hating tattoos), but i'd say if you aren't sure (and someitmes, even if you are), don't do it.
