So I made my appointment with Cyco.
On November 24 at 3pm I will be getting my first 'real' tattoo. I have the one behind my ear, but this one will be the first one people will see very clearly. It will be on my upper right arm. I want a zombified/skeletol/decaying Virgin Mary with a banner that says "I am not your savior".
I'm getting this as a reminder to myself that I don't have to save everyone. Also as a reminder of personal responsibility and finally that religion will not solve everything. No miracle will come along and fix everything in your life.
I'm a little worried about putting a negative phrase on my body, but I can't think of a better way to word it. It was originally inspired by an Ani DiFranco song.
i am an all powerful amazon warrior
not just some sniveling girl
so no matter what i think i need
you know i can't possibly
have a need in this world
come and come for that sweet sweetness
i'll be your never ending vending machine
i could never need to be alone
never need to be my own
as much as you need your queen
i know men are delicate
origami creatures
who need women to unfold them
hold them when they cry
but i am tired of being your savior
and i am tired of telling you why
and since when did this me me me
become the be all and end all of me
oh listen to you talk to me
long time love has got to breathe, babe
you got to let it ebb and flow
if you want a ball to bounce
you gotta let it go
just let it go
i know men are delicate
origami creatures
who need women to unfold them
hold them when they cry
but i am tired of being your savior
and i am tired of telling you why
