Ever since I got my first tattoo with my brother on his birthday before he left to Europe again, I've noticed that I became more and more attractive to the art of tattooing. Now I openly admit that I am addicted to tattoos and body art.
My downfall was the fact that I was a poor artisy. I couldn't draw too well, and I didn't have enough money or time for someone to teach me or for me to learn by myself. All of that changed when I saw a friend of mine had a brown sort of ink on her hands. I was immediately interested and attracted tot he new form of ink that was temporary but every much exotic. I did my research on the form of ink, and my new hobby was born.
Henna tattooing for was a sort of middle point between no tattoos at all and getting another tattoo done on me. Since I didn't not have too much money to have someone do henna tattoos on me every week or when I wanted one, I had to earn how to do it on my own. The problem came back to the surface about my lack of drawing skill, but I got information on how to do a tattoo stencil, so I wouldn't have a difficult time tracing.
Little by little, my interest soon became an obsession. I have always been attracted into the middle eastern fashion and culture. I have learn the dance of gothic fusion and mastered their fasion and make up, now I had learned how to design and do heir body art.
I may one day go to the middle east and see how it's really like over there, but as for now, because there is a war going on and I don't want to rink life or limb, I think I'll stay here mean while.

This is a quite interesting hobby i would say. Im not addicted to body art but you can say I am borderline. Even t hough I do not have a tattoo, I am planning to get four.
I like how you wrote about you and brother getting tattoos at the same time on his birthday.That's a nice memory to keep. I see tattoos as a work of art and the body is the canvas. You draw beautifully!
