I’ve been wanting a tattoo for a long time. The reason that I haven’t committed to inking myself is two-fold…
1. It’s my job:
The visual space is my profession. I spend 50+ hours a week not only creating images, but also researching various graphic styles. Because I’m constantly pushing myself to evolve as a designer, I find that my taste is constantly evolving as well – some visuals I loved last year have become mundane. Certain design elements are timeless, however, I can’t imagine having a mark on my body that I’m bored off looking at.
On a side note, I’d probably get more cred as a creative in the industry with a few marks.
2. I’m a giant pansy:
This point needs minimal explanation – I hate needles.
Otherwise, I’m totally infatuated with script tattoos. Here are a few that are particularly nice.
