"Not The Sort..."

I have a tattoo, when I tell people this I get the same usual reply "but you're not the sort to have a tattoo", er since when do I have to be anything to get something that I want, tattoo's used to be the realm of big hairy biker gangs and criminal thugs, but today I'd say it's fairly trendy to have a tattoo, but why do I get the same reply of 'not being the type', it bugs me just a little bit.

This is the tattoo as it was just after it was finished, I've always wanted a tattoo and this was a lovely defining moment for me, it was uncomfortable to get yes but you know that sometimes it's worth to get through pain.

This is the original piece of art which the tattoo is of, it was drawn by a very good friend of mine and the original idea was also from another friend, I had a number of ideas for what I wanted to get but I got some inspiration and it lead to this, it's a Dragon and a Orca (Killer Whale, seriously, when I say Orca sometimes I just get blank looks!) in a yin-yang styled fashion, you can see this just ever so slightly in the middle, for me it represents balance, I'm a firm believer in karma and this encompasses me in a number of ways, it's more a personal tattoo than anything but then surely all tattoo's are personal?

I have been bitten firmly by the 'tattoo bug' and I do wish to get another in the future, what of?, eh, time will tell.

And since I've given myself the rule that every blog of mine has to come with something to watch/listen to, here, have some random cute.... thing.
