tattoos are honest confessions. to put ink on one's skin is like having the courage to tell a story with the risk of letting the world know. tattoos should not be for the others but for one's own reasons. may it be another person or a special event in their lives, tattoos are stories and when you have a story to tell, you don't usually tell it to everyone. you tell it to the people you trust. to the people you love. tattoos tell the stories and experiences that make the person. it is a representation. this is
the reason why i like them hidden. they're more special, more intimate, sacred. and despite the pain, it becomes a spiritual experience.
