Tattoos-Day : Live it Up

Ink #10: Just Live Your Life

Design: The text “Live Hard, Rock On” with a faded star

Location: Left Outside Hip/Buttocks

When: Summer 2009

Pain Scale: Six out of Ten

Artist: Mr. Max

Story:

I had been tossing the idea for this one around in my head for a while before I got it. It wasn’t until my friend Biz got into a horrible car accident that I finally decided exactly what I wanted.

Biz is a beautiful, talented, wonderful person. She was always the girl I could go to for anything – and I mean anything. I have a lot of good friends that would do anything for me, but none of them would understand half the crazy shit I went to Biz for.

I am a huge fan of the quote, “Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out alive.” It’s such a true statement it’s almost laughable. I like to think I was living my life to the fullest, but it wasn’t until Biz was on the brink of death that I realized how much I worried about trivial, stupid things. You’ve just got to live your life hard and rock the fuck on!

She told me she wanted to get the star constellation for Gemini on her outside hip. I didn’t want to take her thunder away from her; because she will get better and she will get that tattoo. But that is the reason for the star and the placement of this one.

I like that star. It looks rad. And I need that sometimes - I live pretty mildly.

@coors Thanks, darlin ;-) I was actually thinking of having others showcase their own ink when I run out! Are you interested?!

@JAG I like how he did the star, too. He didn't outline it at all, just shaded it. You live mildly? Why do I find that hard to believe?

Dude, you have to be running out of space soon.

@Ed I am actually. I've had to get creative with placement. :-P I'll probably just start adding onto things now.
