I got a tattoo on my left upper arm from our company party (which was superb and one of the best company parties I have attended) last Saturday. It was of a pattern of flowers.
But before you gasp in surprise at my decision to get a tattoo at such an indiscreet part of my body, I have to save you from wondering how I did it -- so I have to let you know first that it's just henna tattoo, hehehe.
Ok, just henna tattoo.
I don't like needles and I have no plans of getting a permanent tattoo.
The pretty and sweet Indian lady who was doing the henna tattoo said it will last for only two or three days but I knew it wouldn't because my sisters and brother had henna tattoos when we went to the beautiful Boracay beach a few years ago (it was a popular thing in the beach). But I still had my arm done and so were some of my lady colleagues and last Monday we all saw each other's arms and hands and we couldn't help but say to each other how we thought our tattoos would come off within the weekend but found out it didn't so we had to live with it for a few more days.
This is the first time I have had a tattoo and it was quite exciting for me because I have been wondering how it would look like if I had a tattoo, moreso, have it on my arm. It looked fine to me but I know it is something I would not like to have permanently as it is not me. It was weird to see myself dressed up in my girl next door clothes then see my tattooed arm. But the experience was nice, my tattoo is like my expression of my "bad girl" side, I mean my not so sweet side, the liberated and the naughty side of coffee fairy...But just like my tattoo, it would just be temporary and will get erased eventually although you know it was there before but you didn't want to keep it.
Some things are not meant to stay. Sometimes you wish it could actually go away instantly but sometimes, it has to fade away thru time, slowly for healing without scars.

I have no problem with temporary things.
When I was younger, getting tottos was quite the thing.
However, as I grew older, I dislike them more and more because I see them as a sign of bondage.
Have fun with it. Any chance of a grainy, out-of-focus, horribly lit shot of your upper arm.
Personally, flowers would not be my style. As a kid I liked skulls and snakes and daggers.
heya Richard! As requested, I have posted a picture of my tattoo fresh from that night I got it. Now it is just brown and fading, like freckles. =)
