sometimes i think i want to tell my parents about my tattoos. just come out one day and show them. afterall, what's done is done, what are they gonna do about it now? it would make things so much easier for me, to not be hiding something like this. i have even had dreams about my parents finding out (not ending on a happy note, that's for sure). my mom has almost seen the one on my back, twice. i love my tattoos, and they hold a lot of meaning to them. but i don't know that i could convey that to my parents in a way they would understand. but then again, i think why put them thru that? i'll hide it for as long as i possibly can, in hopes that they never find out. but if they should, then there's nothing i can do. and i can only hope that they can look past the ink and see that i'm still the same me. just with some added color. :) then sometimes i think that my parents DO know, they're just not saying anything, either because they're in denial, or because they're just waiting for me to say something first. i think if my tattoos were sweet girly images, it would be easier. but having a rather large black dragon on my back isn't exactly cute and sweet. hmph.
