Fearfully Flawed

Life is full of flaws. We all have flaws just different types. Years ago, I was in an abusive relationship that left me scarred for life physically and emotionally. A scar in particular located on my left hand was one of many scars. It was the only scar that actually left a scar behind that was visually noticeable. Therefore, I decided to get a tattoo to cover the scar. Being the scar is on my left (marriage) hand I wanted something pretty but different so it would stand out. Eventually I ended up getting Catalina flowers with lots of dots and many different lines. The lines consist of thick, thin, and curved lines throughout the tattoo creating a repeating pattern. Colors were an addition to the tattoo

    Poetry Explication "First Poem for You" by Kim Addonizio

    Just as poetry is a permanent mark of feelings that last forever on paper, tattoos are permanent symbols that last forever on the skin. Tattoos and poetry can easily be combined such as in Kim Addonizio’s sonnet, “First Poem for You,” the speaker admires her partner’s nature themed tattoos in a darkened room. This may seem to be a simple poem, but by utilizing tattoos as symbols, including tactile and visual imagery in her poem, and using the sonnet as her structure, Addonizio laments about the true meaning of relationships and their longevity.…

    The Consequences Of Fear David Ropeik Summary

    The article “The Consequences of Fear” written by David Ropeik discusses the factors of everyday life that cause us to be overly fearful of a situation or not fearful enough. We as humans tend to have irrational fears, or fear of things that have a very low risk of causing us any harm. If these fears persist over long periods of time they can cause real problems to our health. According to the article, “Psychoneuroimmunological testing in laboratory animals and a range of human epidemiological findings associate stress with a weakened immune system, increased cardiovascular damage, gastrointestinal problems” etc. This brings the question “Is it important to avoid taking risks in order to protect your health?”.…

    Tatto Ethnography

    The individual I am going to be interviewing is a twenty-two year old African American male originally from Miami, Florida but moved up to Gainesville, Florida to attend school and major in Architecture. He is currently working as a security guard at North Florida Regional Medical Center. The description of the tattoo is a picture of two dices and flames surrounding the letters MAR which is a nickname the individuals’ mother gave him; and the tattoo is located on the individuals’ inner forearm on his left hand. The interviewee got the tattoo when he was eighteen years old back in November of 2009, where he explained the reason behind getting this tattoo. He started off by saying that he had just turned eighteen years old that October in 2009 and he wanted to signify that he had just graduated high school and he was old enough to do most things an eighteen year old can do. He said getting a tattoo is something he always wanted to get some tattoos, but he said he originally walked inside to get a sleeve, which is when your whole entire arm from wrist to shoulder is covered in tattoos but the cost came up to a thousand dollars so he settle for something way less. The participant got his tattoo in Miami, Florida at a tattoo parlor called Silver Back Tattoo shop which is well known in and around the surrounding Miami areas. The interviewee said the artist he chose to do his tattoo was a white male he believed look like to be between the ages of 23 and 26, so a young dude and the artist had tattoos everywhere. The interviewee went on to say that the artist had two sleeves on his arm, a few tattoos on his leg, and some tattoos on his face as well. He chose this person because that was the first person to greet him as he came in and also, he was the one that asked him what kind of tattoo he was looking to get. This artist also worked with him to figure out what tattoo would have best suited him and also what were in his price range; and…

    Nonconformity vs. Stereotyping

    David Brooks’ “Nonconformity is Skin Deep” argument that tattooing is becoming a social trend is persuasive; he backs this by stating that tattoos are everywhere, inescapable. He wants us to assume that behind every judge, teacher, lawyer, housewife, etc lurks ink. Brooks makes a mockery of the “tattoo fad” by writing, “these are expressions of commitment…they don’t always work out…but the longing for permanence is admirable” (Brooks).…

    What Role Do Tattoos Play In Society Essay

    Let’s start by picking your brain for a moment. If I were to ask you what your opinions were towards tattooing, what would your answer be? You may be surprised to know that within our society today, regardless of what your answer was, we could assume that people are divided based on each alternating view of tattoos. Some bring a more stereotypical view in that tattoos may pose a negative factor when trying to land that perfect job. Perhaps that it may symbolize that they are part of a gang, a “biker” if you will, maybe a criminal or part of a lower class in society? (Proehl 2004) Tattooing may also instill fear…

    I have always found tattoos to be a very beautiful, personal expression of one’s self. They are used to express personalities, beliefs, telling stories, labeling of groups, medicinal and many other ideas. Nowadays, tattoos are everywhere.

    Kim Addonizio's 'First Poem For You'

    In the poem, tattoos symbolized a unique portrayal of the love in the form of poetry. That too happens without the use of poetry also. Tattoos hurt, love hurts, working to make a better relationship hurts, abusive hurts, broken bones hurt, having the most precious thing in the world, kids, hurts, and addiction hurts. And with so much hurt, the memories of what happened remains forever, like the ink of the tat, when the pain is over, the one single mark will make a impact on that person’s life or body everlastingly. That also explains why when people are in a so called serious relationship and get the other person’s name tattooed on themselves and when the relationship is over, they have to find a cover up tattoo. It is hard to cover a unwanted tattoo, but it’s easy to cover up unwanted poetry, just throw it away (unless it’s already been published). Tattoos, poetry and relationships have so many great and disappointing similarities that is could go on forever, and it is such a wonderful that in all three, a person can express themselves in ways no one can ever really understand, no matter how many educational degrees they may have. In tattoos, the expression is in the form of colors and pictures, in poetry, the expression is in the form of words and in a relationship, the expression is usually in the form of sexuality. When the word sexuality is mentioned, it…

    Classification Essay Draft

    Tattoos for the longest time have been considered taboo, and for the most part the only people you would see with them would be bikers, gang members and generally thought of as outcasts of the general public. That is changing, and changing fast. Tattoos are becoming more mainstream, and accepted. The reasoning for getting a tattoo varies from person to person, and is something that has been going on since the prehistoric times. The meaning behind a tattoo also varies from tattoo to tattoo and with the person. A person can get a tattoo to represent a change in life, or to show love or respect for another person.

    Tattoo Compare and Contrast

    I currently have four pieces that mesh into two larger pieces. On my left arm there is a demon surrounded by cherry blossoms, and there is also a geisha holding a fan covering half of her face. The cherry blossoms indicate a new beginning surrounding my inner demon and the geisha represents inner beauty and outer beauty. On my right arm there is a samurai mask depicting my strong side and also an octopus expressing my ability to adapt to tough situations that approach me. This is my way of expressing the struggles and conflict in my life, while also expressing strengths and joys. My parents believe that if I wanted to express those emotions that I should write a book or speak about it. They grew up in a generation where tattoos were not popular and the only people that got them were sailors and people in the military. But the tattoos have meaning to me, deep meaning. I will remember what they represent for the rest of my life and they will never lose their meaning to me.…
