Every Tattoo Has A Story

I will never regret my stories

Every Tattoo Has A Story

Tattoos tell a story. The type of story depends on the tattoo. A story could mean the tattoo means so much to a person because it represents their grandmother that passed away and was a huge influence on their life. Or it could be that you went with your two best friends in college to this crappy tattoo shop on one of the most memorable nights of your life. Every tattoo has a story.

Now these days, there are many different views about tattoos. Many people find them to be trashy. Many people find them amazing. Some people admire tattoos, they just would never get one themself. There are also people that think tattoos with meaning are okay, but “meaningless” tattoos are stupid.

Personally, I like any and all tattoos. I love the ones that are super serious and intricate. I love the ones that are simple and not necessarily well done. I love them because of the story that they provide, no matter what kind of story it is.

I have eight tattoos so far. I love every one of them. Some of them, like my deathly hallows symbol for Harry Potter, people see as dumb. Or people think I will one day regret getting so many tattoos in such a short period of time. But that is not the case with me.

Many of my tattoos come with great memories. The first one I got was for my dad. It was on my eighteenth birthday, and my boyfriend at the time was there to hold my hand. I had a great birthday, and I got a great tattoo that will help me never forget that day. I got two with two of my closest friends my freshman year of college. And I got two on a whim with other really good friends when someone came to visit.

Even if now I question whether I should have gotten these tattoos or not, I will never regret them because of the memories that come with. The guy that held my hand on my eighteenth birthday is no longer in my life. I do not even talk to my old two closest friends from last year that I got tattoos with.

Some of my tattoos are just starts to much bigger plans, since I am considering getting sleeves. Not all of them look the best. Maybe one day, I will wish I had gotten them in different places, either so they could be seen or could not be seen by other people. Even if I do wish they were in different spots, I love them all.

No one else has to like my tattoos, I do not care. They are not on anyone else’s body for the rest of their life. It is on my body. And people may think my tattoos are dumb or I was young and stupid when I got them, but oh well. Even if someone does not like them, they make me happy. And that is all that matters.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
