My sister was raised in and lives in Kentucky, and is very religious. She thinks tattoos are stupid and everyone will regret them when they're older. I figure, if you keep yourself in shape (and don't end up with anything that damages your body), the tats will still look good when you're old. And if they don't, they were cool for awhile, and you'll still look like the coolest ones in the old folks' home!
Oh! I never thought of being forced. (Although the movie Hostel 2 has sort of a forced tattoo of a bulldog in it that I think would be pretty cool.)
Wow! That would be a hard choice, because I have all kinds of moods and interests. How about a werewolf, jaws open, ready to bite, or howling at the moon? Where, though? Hmm... Let's assume I had a tight, fit body for this, OK? Covering the back would be cool, but I want to be able to see it any time I want. I'm going to pick my upper right arm. But I still like a full back tattoo with the wolf either growling or howling with a full moon emphasizing the wolf.

Now, you see, I know what it’s like inside a pornographer’s trousers. I enjoy the conversations around and with the ‘patient.’ I am very, very, overly protective of those that I love (not, never, horrors, ‘possessive!’). Willing to take the bullet, ya know. Making sure that the colors don’t run.
I know what I want on my right forearm, I’ve seen photos of other tats of same, but I don’t know how to say ‘this!’ when I’ve no photo or illustration. I want a delicate tat of barely open labia/vulva. I don’t do porn but maybe there’s a website specializing in genital pornography? I’d like it to be so realistic that no one would have to ask, ya know?
I am old! I don’t have the crepey skin, yet. No fat or hanging/sagging parts. I’m guessing that I’ll be dead long before that! Perky tits/nipples! Funny thing, that. As I grew older my partners were younger - at forty I was with a 19-year-old - but, at 58, with my primary partner having just turned 59, I find her slender body even more interesting now than I did at 16! We parted - I left her behind - but we stayed in touch with one another. Last night I found a letter from her, “Sunday nite, 1978”. One of the few surviving. She kept all of my letters (I went to college armed with an Underwood and Selectric but I purchased a sleek Olivetti upon arrival so I have no letters-by-hand at all) but won’t allow me to see them. She is, rightly, afraid of my purple editing pen. She teases me - Nancy is an eternal tease! - reading me paragraphs over the phone.
Um, christ, O can’t stay on-topic. Oh, yes, tats and aging. Mmm, no, that doesn’t worry me.
And the old-folks-home? Been there, on the mental ward. Nurses, aides, etc., helped me take care of my ear and nips. They thought it so cool. Gosh, same for three years in real-life mental hospital.
The older I get, the more mentally stable I become, the steadier my sense of well-being, the fewer regrets I have.
Mmm, Kentucky. I have two ex-girlfriends in Kentucky. The freckled redhead followed me to London but tired of the scene and moved back to KY and married and adopted her husband’s three children. I lost touch with the other. I wonder, though, if, in their dotage, they would disapprove of tats? Neither complained of my piercings.
Tattoos/Piercings/Sex. Is there anything sexual about a wolf howling at the moon? Anything sexual about the coast of my beloved homeland? Er, maybe. I don’t know. I’m no Freud and this is no Fellini filming a train entering a tunnel.
So, vulva on my right arm and do I simply pose with pride for the inking on the left? Hmm. I’m gonna do the nostril... that’s easy, something that I’ve thought of for years. And my queer-pride symbol is a go.
But other tats? Where in the world does one shop for nice vulva???
Ooo... gotta have a snack, now!
