Life is made of millions of tattoos. Once you have made the decision and the process occurs it is irreversable. Though of course, in life, it is not always your decision that imprints the tattoo on your life. So I guess thats not the best anology. But it will do for my situation, for now.

My situation being I made a concious choice, and it created a huge tattoo on the suface of my life. Almost obliterating any space for future tattoos. Now that I think about it, you never have to choose to get a tattoo at all if you don't want one. Whereas in life you get them. Nothing to it, they are there.

I honestly didn't think that when I was getting this tattoo that it was my choice. It was kind of just something that had come about. Reflecting back on it now though, it was my tattoo. I had planned it down to the smallest detail, every turn, every colour. I designed the tattoo. I practically printed it on myself. I just didn't realise until the last second what it would mean. By then, of course, I was wearing it.

To put it in the proper terms it was 'pre-meditated murder'. My lawyer had pleaded that I was unstable. I had been very stable. But I never told her that. She never asked, and she had seemed quite sure with herself at the time. I thought maybe she knew something I didn't. It is highly likely she knows many things I don't. I this case, however, I was sadly mistaken. Mind you, she didn't seem to happy with it either. Though a lot of other people did.

I think the whole story does need to be told though. Otherwise I just sound like a bastard. Which I may well be, but just listen before you judge.
