Ink - Permanent Life Meaning

Once in a while people tend to find something that has a true life meaning to them. For me it was a few simple words:

il Dolce Far Niente

Sweet doing nothing - literally
The sweetness of doing nothing - simply

Artistic Expression Via Ink

As most of the people closet to me know, I tend to enjoy getting tattoos. At this current moment I have 5 of them. Each one means something to me and that is what matters the most. 

My First Tatto

The Yin Yang

This tattoo was my first. It it the Yin Yang symbol. It expresses how everything has a light and dark, good and bad, hot and cold side. I actually picked this tattoo off the wall of the parlor because I did not know what to get, but I found the meaning to me. 

It showed to the world that I knew and accepted my light and dark side. That I was taking the good with the bad no matter what. At the point in my life when I got this I was slightly angry at everything and everyone which is why I chose to add the red to it. It signified the anger, the rage that I held inside.

This was only the beginning of me beginning to express myself.

Prom Night Reality

Everyone remembers their high school prom. The feeling of anxiety from shopping for what to wear, how to do their hair, and, of course, the major stressor is the prom theme.

As for me I cannot begin to understand these feelings because I never attended my high school prom. During that season I left my parochial school and transferred to a public school with 4 months left in the year. Therefore, I couldn't attend my 3.5 year high school prom and I couldn't afford to attend my public school prom because of money issues on mine and my parents faults. So I cannot imagine what it must've been like.
