For question 2: It depends on the size of the tattoo, the location, and what is the picture of.

I tiny black teardrop or star beside the left I is acceptable for me.

YES...Blacqlove is getting his 2013 on!

Glad to hear you are focusing on you and getting your inside and outside in order.

Congrats.

Question 1: yes I have. I have been more open and letting people in more. In the past, people who I've known for years said that they still dont feel like they "KNOW" me... so i told myself that i would do better with that... I guess its my way of protecting my heart and feelings. In addition, i've been eating better and saving more money

Question 2: yes, i think its sexy... well some... Because that icecream cone that that rapper has, got to go!!! he's a mess, before and after that tatt.... but i think a tear drop or something like that is hot.... as long as he has/can get a good jo.......career with it, i'm good.

Yes the portion control can be a mutha fuka, but at least you are thinking about it and taking action.

You can’t go wrong with being more positive or happier. Good for you man.

Question 1: I stopped making New Years resolutions as long as I strive to be the man God wants me to be I know I'm on the right tract.

Question 2: I can't take anyone with face tatoos seriously so it's a resounding NO for me.

1st Question: NO. I stop making resolutions 10yrs ago. I just live in my truth and the flow of my life will be a constant no matter the date on the calendar.

2nd Question: NO. I once fooled around with this young thug'esque type guy with a tattoo on his neck. I knew he was only good for the masculine booty he provided, so it didn't bother me, but I did not trust him. FACE tattoos takes the shyt too far.

#1 Yes, I made a resolution. Resolutions are fun and help us to set goals for self-improvement. What can be better than that - setting goals? No matter the time or place, all of us should be setting goals for the future, so as we accomplish them we have a mark of personal achievement. It’s MY goal! Thus far I have been moving closer and closer in the direction of achieving the aim of my resolutions. ( just 2 specific goals for 2013). Later in the year, as 2013 draws to a close, I will tell you all what they were and how "well" I did.

#2, Yes. I'm old fashion, but also progressive, so it just depends on the person, the size, the actual symbol, and how many other tats they got. The body, in and of itself, can be, and is beautiful WITHOUT TATTOOS. I’m not a big fan of tattoos for the simple fact that most are irreversible, or very hard to undo.

I'm just plain, bring me one or two tats and I'm fine. Anything else is over kill. Too much of anything is a bad thing - <<<< an age old, dyed in the wool ADAGE that remains true even in this day and age of being, "tatted out, tatted up, tatted down, and tat crazy."

Some research needs to be done on the meaning of a tear drop tattoo. I may be wrong, but it is, to my knowledge and understanding, associated with gang initiation. I don't want to start rumors, but I have heard the symbolism behind a tear drop tattoo is not good - it's a very bad look - if the symbolism behind it's original meaning is correct.

That's it. That's exactly what I have heard too. How true it is I don't know, but I am pretty sure it has some truth behind it. I would suppose that not everybody who has a tear drop is a killer, but I believe that many who do are killers. Why else would you get it? Perpin' ain't a good look either. As they say around the way... Perpin will get you ^**(_)*&^^&&^%^

" I think it just takes away from what I should be attracted to in the first place."

Yes this is what I was thinking. Its a distraction...I cant see you....feel me.

Q1) Yes. My resolution is to lose the excess baggage i've been carrying through the past few years. ie old clothes, dishes, acquaintances, bills, this pudgy gut..lol....etc.

Q2) Everytime i'd look at him I would think I was dating a juvenile with an identity complex. I couldn't take him seriously at all man.
