Well, this is my first tattoo and it’s, obviously, a typewriter. For a really long time I struggled with who I was and what was going to make me an individual, and I found myself extremely lonely because of that. When I was younger I started getting really into reading and it was my way of becoming someone else for a little while, and this escape became an obsession. As I got older, writing became a huge part of my life and through this outlet I found who I was. It became a passion and a way of life that I’ve planned my future around.

I love my tattoo. It symbolizes the thing I care about the most in life: words. It not only reminds me of my love for reading and writing, but also commemorates the artists that came before me. Too often we take a passion and push it to the side because it takes balls to put your heart into something, so we make excuses that we don’t have the time or that it’s too difficult. This tattoo reminds me of those who spent years slaving over typewriters to create master pieces that would leave the world better than it ever was before, and also that I have no excuse to not make such creations myself. <3

I hope you guys like it. I know some people will think it’s dumb, but oh well.
