The first tattoo i got, i got it like 9 years ago... to cover a scar i had after a surgery... since then i fell in love with tattoos and the idea of having a visible and palpable memory of something important to you right there on your skin...
Besides pictures, i think tattoos are the best way to remind you and pay tribute to something or someone that left a mark on your life...
It's your body do whatever you want to it, but to me, i would never fill it with meaningless tattoos..
So the first one reminds me of my surgery... reminds me of how i was feeling towards the idea of being sick, of having to leave all my dreams aside and probably having to get chemo... i remember i was clueless... i use to say.. i don't care.. i'll be fine this is gonna make me skinny and bald.. and i'm gonna look like a badass punk-rock chick... haha!!! not knowing how strong and damaging chemo actually is... i was gonna quit college for a while till i was done with the treatment... But then.. the test came... and i was clean... no need for chemo... :) everyone was so happy for me... i was too... but i never stopped to think what were my parents going through thinking i was gonna have to go through all of that... i was kind of out of it.. maybe a way to block all of the anguish, i didn't let this take me down... now that i think about it, i can't even believe how calm i was.... health is the most important thing in life. if u r not healthy u have nothing... I think that attitude i had... that calmness, that positivism made everything bad turn into good... as the law of attraction says.. you only get what you give... i had the best positive energy.. so i got positive outcome.... :)
Marce, I didn't know you went through such tough times :( I'm happy everything worked out okay and the experience left something positive in your life. I know it is not easy to have the right attitude in a not so right situation but you were strong enough to pull through :) I'm proud of you!
