In the words of Jimmy Buffet:
She was no marine back from the Philippines
She was their pride and joy, their incarnation
Her parents viewed the chief with shock and disbelief
Looking for some other explanation
The Indian on her back was poised for an attack
She said a tattoo is a badge of validation
But the truth of the matter is far more revealing
It’s a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
It’s no complex momemto it’s not set of revealing
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
“It’s a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling”
So very true. I never thought getting a tatto was a good idea. It binds you emotionally to the past or makes you captive to an idea/thought/emotion and prevents you from moving forward. I know others have different views on tattos. I just never wanted to be bound by one.
