Get Over Yourself!

So you got a sweet, bad ass tat? Rad. Why’d you get it…you do know it’ll be on your body for the rest of your life, right? OH, you just thought it was cool. Hmm…well, here at GOY, we believe you will eventually regret that tat and try to pawn it off as something you did when you were in your “rebel stage” of your life. Let’s be honest - you never had a rebel stage of your life and you were either drunk when you got it, or you were obsessed with some strange shape, character, or thing (see above) and thought it would be awesome to have it ‘inked’ on your bodacious bod.

Hopefully when you begin to wrinkle and the tat begins to sag, you feel the same way about that person/thing/character as you did before. We understand that this is a personal decision and not everybody wants to talk about it, but the bad news is that if that isn’t the case, it’s pretty easy to tell. It’s even easier to tell when you no longer enjoy whatever that image is on your lower back/shoulder/upper arm.

Clearly, at the time of getting the tattoo, you felt that you were “bad ass” and that getting the tattoo would speak volumes of that to everyone. (Even if you get a “Barbie” or “Hello Kitty” tattoo). I mean, it’s your obsession (even if it’s a temporary one) and everyone else should think it’s awesome. Then you also feel as though you are immune to being made fun of (this is when you stop telling people about it, or why you got it). Well, we are here to tell you otherwise, and to tell you, all of you people that get meaningless tattoos and feel you are a BAMF…GET OVER YOURSELF!
