Far too often, People photograph each others tattoos in search of a conversation behind the purpose of the inking. Is there meaning? Is it just about the process?

I think I just wanted to get myself into a headspace where I did not give too much thought to the fact that I wanted to do that to myself. Not everything needed to be purposeful, planned, executed with precision.
