...As I sink deeper into the clutches of addiction....

[neo71665]

Yep, I think there may VERY well be a connection to those addicted to tattoos and kilts! Maybe I just have an addictive personality. I've dealt with the kind of addiction that doesn't yield good consequences too. But, I'm too hard-headed to let something rule me, so I kicked those. But the tattoos and kilts?? Nope, I love the consequences of those as well. I know I've mentioned it before. But, that is one SWEET tortoise tattoo on your back there. I'm probably venturing off topic here, but I found this picture over on my organic stretched earlobe jewelry makers site. I figured this would give a bit better perspective of my tattoo addiction, as it gives a clear shot of part of my neck and under my chin (something that my kilt photos have not provided.)

I wish I could get away with having more tats like that but due to work I cant. I had to stop my lobes at 5/8th and get enough crap from these rednecks around here about my 8 gauge labret.

YES I DO! I need much more of both. If I remember right I looked at that medical white one on their scratch and dent list. I think the waist was ok for where I wanted to wear it. But, the length didn't work for me. I certainly need a white kilt though. As far as the black kilt. I've been really looking at TFCK's low-rider black worsted wool. I saw one on Ebay not too long ago. I'm still kicking myself for not bidding on it. D'oh!

To be honest with you, what I've done to myself took many many many... MANY nights of restlessness and deliberation with myself. It all boiled down to, I was not going to be happy unless I proceeded with each step I had decided on. First it was tattoos below the elbow. Then it was the hands. Then it was the neck. Then under the chin. The ears just seemed to get bigger and bigger and before I knew it... BAM! They were 1.5"!!! haha.

But, I worried and worried about what the overly-visible tattoos and gigantic ears were going to do for my future (jobwise.) I've honestly never had a problem getting a job. I walk in with my head high, and confident. Of course, I've never applied at a place that's obviously going to freak out on me. But, I'm now a laboratory manager for a HUGE international company. I'm certainly not saying you should run out and tattoo your throat. No no. But, I'm simply saying that all things can be overcome. It's all in what your priorities are.

My first body mods were ears (5/8), tounge (1/2) , labret (8 gauge) thats all for the holes as this be a family site. Now the few tats I got are mostly visiable. celtic sign for my zodiac on my upper left arm, pentagram on the back of my neck, branding of the stars in my zodiac on my upper right arm, 4 leaf clover on fire (sailor jerry style) on my right thumb web, and the suits in a deck of card on each fingers on my right hand. Took me a long time to get my first tat, I was almost 22 and had wanted the same tat since I was 16. the holes I have just got started by my g/f cause when I first started dating her she had 5/8, lobes and I thought it was sexy as hell on her. We broke up and now after 4 years I have 5/8 and she let hers grow back up, lol.
