There is nothing like having control; men have killed for it, died at its hand, become immortalized because of it. However, control exists in different capacities, and it is not always about control over your fellow man. No, sometimes control is about having the reins of your life in your own two hands; about showing the world that you wait for no one, that you are ferociously independent entities, who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Wait, are we becoming a little too serious here? Yeah, I thought so. No, let’s make things a little lighter and say that sometimes we feel like showing the world that we have the final say in determining our personality.

Tattoos are a great way of augmenting your personality and showing it to the world. Carrying your inner self on your skin in the form of a work of art is a great feeling. You may have already taken the first big step and decided that your body is going to be wearing a memento of your personality on its surface; and that is fine by me. However, you might need to ease up a little and decide on a design first. Did I just dampen your enthusiasm? I apologize, for that was not my intention. I only wanted to point out to you that there exist so many awesome designs for you to choose from that that itself may become a hurdle for you. Alright, alright, wipe your tears; I’ll help you a little. But only a little; I don’t go around giving advice to those who don’t help themselves.

I somehow get the feeling that you are the experimental type; one who likes to do things a little differently from others. You don’t want to even have the slightest possibility of having a design similar to someone else on your skin. Ah, this should be interesting; I always enjoy conversing with those who have an appetite for the road less traveled. I love dreaming up cool tattoo ideas and sharing them with the brave and the courageous.

Tattoos, being works of art, don’t have to have boundaries. So many cool tattoo ideas can be toyed with that soon you will be lusting for tattoos all around your body and on the body of others too. Are you a Batman fan? Why not get a bat-symbol etched across your chest! How about a bleeding bullet wound? I once saw someone with a terminator-like exoskeleton showing under their skin, so if you have a taste for all things cyborg, you could go for something similar. Some people even go for optical illusions and let me tell you; they look killer!

So, don’t limit yourself just to the existing kinds of designs. If you have the imagination, your tattoo artist will have the skill. You only need to say the words and you will get served what you crave! Jealous colleagues and interested friends will eat your ear out trying to find the secret. You only have to tell them that it comes from within.
