Branding Thy Self

Many have opinions about everything I do.

I wanted to leave/make a mark before I turned 25. I will be a quarter of a decade old with nothing much to show for it.

Well, in my opinion, nothing much to show.

People tell me that I am crazy because I have managed to do quite a lot of significant things before I turn 25 but it does not ring the same bell with me.

My bell is less rustic and lacks character, it is much more superficial and showy I think. So, my most recent superficial and showy thing I did was this:



Behold my name. It is awesome.



Behold the silvery needle that carves my name. It causes pain.



Behold the unfinished product. It spells awesome.



Behold the thing I may regret when I turn 40. It is done.

I have always wanted a tattoo and the only design I could think off and will never be a regret would be a tattoo of my name.

I love my name. It is like no other.

I especially take pride in my name. I do not really know why, I just do.

So, I had my name carved and inked on my skin for all eternity.

The font is 'Bonzai' and it makes the design look a little Chinese inspired. That is why I chose it, I love all things Chinese. I am not Indian. I kinda sorta kid. I have a green vine with nine leaves running through my name. At first, I only wanted the vine because I love vines, it matched the 'Bonzai' font, is the only thing I am able to draw quite well, and makes the tattoo pretty and less boring. I did not mean to have the nine leaves represent anything until Sonia pointed out that it could represent her because she was born on the 9th.

Yay! All my favorite things in one tattoo.

I am quite lucky the leaves were nine in total... Phew!

Now I have a tattoo. No one special in my life but a tattoo. There goes my chances even more now.
