PHOTO: To Tattoo Or Not To Tattoo?

I remember being told it`s like a mosquito bite and it then turned into a Beelzebub.

I remember my first tattoo which no piece of clothing can cover up anymore. The moment it was done is important, and it is exactly it that keeps me naked.

Until death does up part

Namely, love occurred which did not acknowledge nor signature, nor rings, nor church. Apart from the material and God, only our body remains. Thus, we didn`t go to the register office, nor before a priest, but straight to a tattoo master. My calf got a part of him and his rump got a part of me. And I remember him saying it was like a mosquito bite and then he and the sensation of pain soon identified with Beelzebub. A tattoo remained. His on the ramp, mine on the calf. At least he doesn`t have to watch his every day. I covered mine with trousers and was left nude again. And married. I still don`t know how to divorce. If it was a ring, it would have been much easier. Or perhaps a signature – crossed signature.

A mistake in the making

I know people who bought their tattoo from a catalogue. Due to yearning for aesthetics or perhaps a fad which was caused by Angelina, they chose the most charming dolphin or a tribal sign, without previously asking what a moment in their lives symbolises and represents. My dear friend Liza felt it on her own skin, or perhaps more in her soul: the pain of buying a tribal sign from a catalogue. Summer time, working in the Italian coast, skimpiness and oops! Ramp twins – and what is ironic is that the same man did them – the tattoos, I mean. The only coforting fact at the moment iza had was that her tribal was a year older than its twin. So they stole a part of their existence from each other, killed every illusion of being unique and they are living with today.

Personal expression is not purchased from a catalogue, it is created with your own hands. Weather it’s a unique style, a piece of clothing or something for life like a tattoo. Every detail of a person is their presentation in a way.

Human body is identical to millions of people in itself, this is why there is a tiny aesthetic.expressionist spice with which we complete it. Take a look in the PHOTOGALERY to see what sort of tattoos ornament Zagreb citizens. If anyone recognises themselves, it would be “lovely” if they left a comment underneath the photo.
