Are #Tattoos Sexy?

If you’d asked me that question 20-25 years ago, the answer would have been no. At that point in time the only connection I had with tattoos was a co-worker who was ex-military and an ex-state trooper…and he was COVERED. Not in intricate sleeves but random designs that ran into one another from his wrists to his shoulders. I suspect he had even more than I, as a co-worker, was privy to.

Then I got out in the world more ;)

Which is kinda funny because by the time I’d met said co-worker, I’d already sowed my ‘wild oats’ via partying, bar hopping, etc. by age 21 (I was legal where I lived due to a law change and my date of birth falling under the grandfather cause). I’d been introduced to a gay bar, where my sister was thought to be my date, LOL. And closed the honky tonk bar more times than I can count…the truck stop had the BEST breakfasts! No DUI for me.

Sorry…where was I?

Right. Getting out into the world. Or maybe getting older? Perhaps the stigma lessened. Danica Avet even posted about the tattoo debate recently (which is similar to an experience I had over Easter weekend, LOL). Or seeing sexy men with hot tattoos. There’s something of the ‘bad boy’ in a man sporting a tattoo. Whatever the reason, I started liking tattoos. I started thinking of tattoos as SEXY.

Then I started thinking I’d like to GET one!

As a person of Scottish decent I am drawn to all things Celtic. As a woman I am drawn feminine symbolism, such as the Triple Goddess. Is it any wonder that a Maiden-Mother-Crone tattoo is first on my list?

Of course, tattoos are hugely personal. Certainly not something to enter into lightly. In the end, I think a well-thought out tattoo is SEXY.

How about you? Do you find tattoos sexy? Do you have one? Or do you want to get one?

Sunday Summary & #ROW80 Update

  1. So, a crazy busy week. Two extra days with everyone home really messes with the ol’ mojo :)
  2. Blessed Samhain.

    Hope those of you who celebrate Halloween have a fun and safe holiday. I’ll be spending a good chunk of the day at the elementary school in one class party or another.

  3. Jenna Reynolds’ tarot class was fascinating! And I have to admit it distracted me a bit from new wordage this week. On the other hand it may have breathed new life into an old project…score.
  4. I was a little better on the social media front than last week but I’m not sure I met my three updates. I think I hit my goal of commenting on at least three blogs a day with the exception of Saturday.
  5. On the wordage front, definitely didn’t meet my goal. I actually lost a few words when I rewrote a scene in a different POV. Sigh.
  6. Still maintaining the writing and scheduling of blog posts a head of time. Actually have drafts for most of November that just need fine tuning. You’d think I was getting ready for NaNo or something, LOL.
  7. Speaking of NaNoWriMo, I wish all of you taking part a hearty, “Good luck!”

MayNoWriMo 2011

Blessed Beltane or Happy May Day to you.


It’s hard to believe it’s a new month already. I’m a little late on the goal setting for the month but I’ll be joining Joely Sue Burkhart’s writing challenge in the hopes of finishing the first pass of revisions on my WiP.

To make it accountable, I’m going to say:

  • Act One (16K) the first week
  • Act Two, part one (16K) the second week
  • Act Two, part two (16K) the third week
  • Act Three (16K) the forth week

How about you, do you have any goals set out for May?
