Why did you get your tattoo?

When I was a little girl I always enjoyed putting those temporary tattoos on.
Then when one of my friends in the military service went to get one I thought it was a cool idea.
In the military service tattoos have become significant when you earn rankings or accomplish something.
When I went with him I just wanted the one tattoo.
 
 
What does it mean to you?
I got a butterfly because it symbolizes change and I had just turned 18.
 
 
Did your friends influence you?
No, Not really.  I had been wanting one for a while.
 
Were you happy when you first got it done?
Yes
 
 
Are you still happy with it?
Yes
 
 
How are tattoos creative?
I dont think they are.  They can be creative if one goes overboard in getting tattoos, but at the same time people who go overboard seem to be using tattoos as an expression of the artist's creativity, and not their own. (obviously an exception would be a tattoo artist with a lot of tattoos)
