Forgotten Tattoo April 27, 2004 ~ 12:14 pm
Posted by Julie in : About a Julz , trackbackIs it just me, am I a ditz? I don’t generally think so, but maybe I am. See, sometimes I forget I have my tattoo. Especially in the winter, when I don’t really see it everyday. (And yes, I just realized that it sounds like I don’t take showers…I do. And I often take them when my eyes are not completely open first thing in the morning.) It’s on my ankle, and I just forget about it. I know it’s there on some level, just like I know that I am semi-allergic to the red dye in it, which makes the red part of the tat bump up and occasionally itch. But since it’s now shorts/capris weather, I’m seeing it more often. And I’m wondering, am I the only one to forget about their tattoo? I can’t be, can I? My friend Kim, for instance, has her tattoo on her lower back, where she would practically have to be a contortionist to see it. She must forget about it sometimes.
Maybe it’s like a mole that you take for granted. It’s a mole, it’s always been there, you just don’t think about it.
Except that I don’t find myself looking at my moles and thinking “I oughtta get that re-inked soon.”
Hmmmm….
