Tattoos. They are for expression, liberation, art, symbolism, originality, style and image.
My personal opinion is that people should be at least 21 years old to get a tattoo and should think about the design for 2 years before getting it. Tattoos should be timeless and have a deep meaning. Because that sucker is sketched into your skin FOREVER. Gotta consider placement, aging and…’when I’m a grandma or grandpa, will my grandkids make fun of my tattoo?’
In 2007, I got a tattoo of a lightning bolt on the side of my right waist, that my best friend designed for me. It symbolizes:
Youth, Fierceness and Electric Energy…reminds me everyday to charge for what I want and not let anything get in the way. It means that much to me, so I love it!
Have you or would you ever get a tattoo of someone’s name?
PLUS
I wanna see your tattoo! Send me photos of your tattoo (ayvanae@gmail.com) and tell me what it symbolizes to you. I’ll add it to the post!
What is something you’ve always wanted or wanted to learn?
Your health and body is your temple. A mobile temple, that you must take care of. And this is why I’m making a point to put my health first and be really active. Recently on my facebook and twitter, I posted that I would like to get personal trainer lessons in exchange for my life & dating coaching. Good trade, ay?
With an economy like this, more and more, people are exchanging their skills and services. We all have great skills, so why not share them? Just like back in the days in a village.
This made me curious…
What is your skill?
and what you service/skill would you like to gain in exchange?
POST IT IN A COMMENT BELOW. THIS COULD BE A SKILL BULLETIN BOARD.
PS- If you are or know of a Bay Area personal trainer…let me know!
=)
Vanae’s tip of the dae: Gain a skill, an experience or something you’ve been wanting to do for a while. Think outside the box! Be resourceful! Everything doesn’t have to be paid for in money. Experiences, connections and relationships are worth more than that.
