Who wants to look at, or have their parents watch them, while they’re having sex?
Well the answer is NO ONE. I was recently thinking about portrait tattoos and how there are a lot of good tattoo artist that can bang out (no pun intended) some really awesome portraits and how a lot of people get portrait tattoos to commemorate the love that they have for family and people they hold close to their heart. I think it’s RAD to love someone so much that you want them on your body forever, i use to want one myself (of my dad) until this thought crossed my mind: Whenever i’m doing something i wouldn’t want my dad to see, his face will be right there and ruin the mood.
I’m not gonna go into detail but when you are having intimate moments with a guy (or whatever you prefer) you don’t want to see his mom’s face or someone else in his family while you’re in a fun and compromising position; talk about a boner killer. Even if you can’t see the tattoo in all “positions” your partner might be able to.
“Hey dad check out this reverse cowgirl!”

or how about “Hey mom have you ever seen the praying mantis?!”

Just thinking of those funny situations i know i will never get a portrait tattoo of any of my loved ones.
(this was written from a humor aspect, but really seriously think about it hahaha)
Happy Father’s Day to my dad, Danny P From Pico! Even though he makes this expression EVERY TIME I come home with a new tattoo he loves just the same and maybe even more. Thanks for putting up my shit dad, I love you and Happy Father’s Day!
“Slow down”
Is what my Dad told me today after I unveiled yet another tattoo on my canvas. ”Slow down, seriously, that’s enough you just got one a month ago!” He’s not mad he’s just being a parent and he doesn’t fully understand how I do things.
I understand slow down as an action, but when he told me slow down I felt like he was telling me in a living life sense, and I don’t really live my life with that phrase in mind.
I recently moved back home and right now I am at a strange point in my life where I realize I am finding out and figuring out who I’m becoming. Tattoos have always been in my life plan since I was 13 and now that I am 22 and becoming my own person I have to start restricting and putting my growing on hold for my parent’s sake? I’m HAPPY with what I am doing with my life right now and I’m HAPPY with who I’m becoming so far but it’s a shitty feeling to have when your parents don’t like/agree with how you go about becoming yourself.
I know that when parents have their first child, hold them for the first time, look into their eyes and immediately fall in love they don’t have dreams or aspirations of their children being covered in tattoos; but I do know that they want their child to be HAPPY. So let me be HAPPY, that’s all I’m saying. Let me feel good about having art on my body. I don’t want to be scared to show you the things that make me HAPPY in life. I’ll be okay, don’t worry, just let me do my thang Mom and Dad.
