Sorry Tough Guys: Women Have More Tattoos Than Men
18.05.12
-- Way more than the original tattoo; maybe even the break-up itself.
Personally, I’m proud of my tattoo on my lower back, but it took years before I found the right symbol that represented a personal metamorphosis in a foreign land. I’ve been plotting where and what to get as my second tat to represent my Pisces daughter, without echoing cheesy Ed Hardy koi worship. These days, I’m more mad at the rash of Girls Gone Wild who, in concert with early-Aughts fashion trend of low-rise jeans and thong underwear, coined the awful term “tramp stamp.” But I also side-eye Chinese and tribal symbols that may or may not be culturally accurate, misspelled maxims or ubiquitous rose anklets. C’mon! Be original! And Miley, here’s a tip from the wiser-but-less-supple future of middle-age: You will regret that triceps tat -- the same body part that my daughter lovingly refers to as “mommy’s squishy part.”
So, ladies, love yourselves, love your tats. But please, think before you ink!
