When I turned 18 my mom my nana and I all went and had tattoos of our favorite Bible verses put on the inside of our wrists. Mine is 1st Timothy 4:12.

Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.

I do have 14 tattoos but I also do come home every single night and watch reality TV with my cat.

What's funny is my husband doesn't have any tattoos at all so he must be the very conservative one.

Sonny and another Hells Angel who was at the meeting thought they were beyond a little patch so they headed down to a local tattoo shop in Oakland and were the first to get the famous One Percent tattoos.

I'm from a nice suburban middle-class family but my tattoos remind me where I've been.

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut nice guys. So it's strange.

People who don't like me talk about it as though I'm trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it's 2008 not the 1950s. Tattoos aren't limited to sailors. It's a form of art I find beautiful. I love it.
