Learning More
By Topper on Feb 14, 2009 in Entertainment
I have been dating Adam for sixteen months. He is a very chill guy and we have been having fun hanging out. I actually met his family in the summer and if the saying, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” is accurate, that would be great with me since his family is very cool too.
I have been seriously considering joining Adam on Valentine’s Day for a couple’s tattoo. Together we have searched the internet for various design options. Before we started this process I thought that all tattoo artist performed freehand designs and if someone had amazing dragon tattoos it is because he went to a talented artist. I have since learned that the artist does need talent, skill, a steady hand, and a good eye for color; however the artist also can rely on a brilliant stencil which people can order from the internet.
I am so relieved to be able to shop for my design and sit with my choices for days or even weeks before I make that permanent decision. Instead of walking in and hoping the artist can capture my vision, I now can walk in with a pre-sketched plan. We are leaning toward getting Angel tattoos and will make our final decision soon.

I really like dragons too, ever since I was a little kid. I don’t know why, I think I’ve just had a fascination with all those mythical creatures- dragons, unicorns, pegasus. etc. Who knows!

A couple’s tattoo? I would be careful. A tattoo is a permanent alteration to your body. One of my mom’s friends has a tattoo of her husband’s name, except it’s a pear- because his name is Perry. I think doing something where names aren’t actually on the tattoo is a smart decision.

16 months is a pretty long time! I have been dating my boyfriend for 19 months, and it is the longest relationship I have ever been in. Look back, it has gone really fast. I guess that old saying, “time flies when you are having fun” really does apply to us!

Haha! I’m glad that I’m not the only one who thought that all tattoos were done freehand. I always wondered how so many came out perfectly. Knowing that it is a stencil is a great comfort.

I love my boyfriend’s family too- but they aren’t really like him. I think because he is the oldest sibling in the family, he tends to be more responsible and protective. But his extended family reminds me of him- they are outgoing and friendly.
