Imagine this on my right shoulder blade (:
So this is the tattoo I will hopefully be getting this year (maybe this winter break in less than 7 days!). It's an illustration designed by tiffanycheetah (hong kong based artist). I was researching the pros and cons of tattoos after I had the spontaneous hallucination of myself with one when I saw the illustration. I've researched all the tattoo places in Sydney and have decided to go to IVT (InVision Tattoo). I know I might seem trashy, but Angelina Jolie said "A tattoo is something permanent when you've made a self-discovery, or something you've come to a conclusion about." Funnily enough, it reminded me of Shelley Jackson's really inventive work, called Bodywork. It's a story with each word tattooed to a certain part of the body of a participant. Only the participants know the story. Jackson said she'd even attend their funerals, saying the story is then diminished with every death. A little morbid aye?
Anyway, I know the reason why the illustration struck a chord with me. All I'll give away it's something about alter-egos hehe.
