What makes it even worse is where I live is it’s the land-of-bad-tattoos.
It’s like anyone who ever took a high school art class opened a tattoo parlor.
There is a really nice girl in my neighborhood who is 20 years old.
She works in a local deli / restaurant and I see her quite a lot. She is just such a nice gal, looks after her kid brother like their mom should but doesn’t.
At one point she left the deli and went to work elsewhere. A couple years passed. She eventually came back to the place and I’m sad to say, she had a huge tattoo on her shoulder. It went from her shoulder down her arm and was colored. She was also sporting a tongue ring....
I knew her while she was in high school as she worked her way through grades 9 - 12 she worked in the deli and I was always struck by her lack of self confidence. It really made me sad.
I wondered if her getting ‘ inked ‘ and pierced was an attempt to feel better about herself. But, really...it just looked terrible and pathetic.
Such a pretty girl beginning the process of applying graffiti to herself.
