When you wake up, get showered and dressed each morning, and select your clothes for the day, you select how you want others to see you. If you attire features a white button down shirt and a tie, you’re sending out a specific message about your job, about how you spend many of your hours and about what makes you tick. If you wear a tee shirt featuring an image from your favorite movie, the message you broadcast is quite different. The same can be said for a tattoo. Skull tattoos and cross tattoos have different, yet equally important messages, or meanings, that may describe you and your lifestyle. Being certain that you are comfortable with that image, that meaning, for the rest of your life is paramount to achieving satisfaction with your new body art. Removal can be quite expensive and painful, and often involves a healing period after which the skin may be scarred or discolored permanently, so being certain of your decision not only regarding the art itself but also the elements, the symbols therein, is crucial. Without that certainty, you are likely to ultimately regret your decision when instead you deserve to be happy with your choice.
