This is my tattoo. This photo was taken just after it was finished, so it's nice and fresh and juicy.

It's a peony rose. These flowers can symbolise, particularly in Eastern philosophy, a daring, devil may care sort of attitude. As in just go and fucking do it style. Go have some adventures. This is one of the reasons I wanted this flower, apart from it being pretty...
But this is something I've been forgetting lately. I've been too hung up on pleasing other people and forgetting myself. I've been cruising along acting the part society wants me to play. I've been avoiding conflicts and as a result I haven't been honest or authentic. I've realised that while avoiding a fight or argument might make things all sunshine & rainbows on the surface I am being dishonest and it is more damaging to relationships and to myself.
SO if I want to do something, I'm going to fucking well do it
if I want to say something, I'll fucking well say it.
