I love tattoos they are one of my favorite things. Of course this doesn't mean I have 25 of them, it just means I think it's an enjoyable type of art. I do have one tattoo as of right now, it's a pride tattoo that I decided I wanted to get a few years ago with a friend of mine. For me, I don't just get a tattoo for the heck of it.
