"Hey, so I really need a cover-up tattoo.
It was done by Ryan Mia and although, he does great work, it wasn't what I wanted..." long pause to think, "I actually had a drawing that he completely threw out the window... I had this idea for this quirky cassette tape that was sort of smiling like a goof and I dunno, it meant a lot to me but, he changed it to be more his 'style' or whatever, that I guess is traditional and... it came out more watercolor tattoo but, not really, cos it's sort of shiftily done, if I'm being honest. I had a plan to have the cassette tape reel pulled out and have it be my children's names in cursive in the ribbon but, at the time I didn't know I was going to have kids, I just sort of thought when I met the guy that I needed to marry him and have his babies but, I can't explain why that felt like a thing I needed to do now, because at the time, it really seemed to make sense but, now I'm not really sure where I was coming from. I really feel like being young and in love is a sort of crime because you certainly pay for it later. My kids are totally rad and I'd love to get some tattoos for them soon, maybe some dinosaurs on the back of my calves and maybe a little ruby heart for my sweet pea and pumpkin pie. Do you do other work that is sort of detailed animals that don't exist and gemstones that I've made up for people in my head- I can be really descriptive but, I also see where this will be a weird thing that you maybe won't understand. I've seen some of your work though, and I really think you know what I'm talking about. I at least am cognitive enough to know I'm a bit delusional, I guess. I like to look deeply at people and make up a gemstone for them. I see you as a sea foam green gemstone. Its rough, uncut, cloudy, a really beautiful light greenish sort of blue hint, pastel, and some white quartz that is frothy on it. I just made that up. I'm sorry I'm really weird but, I swear it's unintentional. You are just that gemstone. Okay, anyways, I totally need something that will cover up my ex's initials because I just really don't want the daily reminder as I'm dressing or showering or touching not his dick that I was stupid enough to believe in love at first sight and severely found out the hard way that I know nothing about love, like nothing, at, fucking, all, about it. I bet that will be a weird thing in the next relationship that I have that I may or may not already be in- people are so complicated and it's so fucking weird that I don't even feel like my life IS more complicated, it seriously feels WAY the fuck more simple and somehow if someone were to ask me out I just don't really have a REAL answer on why I can't- like, sorry, MAYBE I have a (whispers) *boyfriend* but, not really in the traditional sense because, what does that really mean, anyways? We are quietly committed and never talk about it with people because I guess that makes it real and creates unnecessary pressure or something, or I dunno? I'm the one with someone else's initials on their arm, so what the fuck do I know about privacy anyways. I'm certainly NOT the one to ask about who is dating whom. I am pretty sure I'm still single. But, don't ask me out. I'm pretty sure I'm taken...? Maybe. I was really sure I knew what I wanted and then now I'm just really not sure what is even the deal with any part of my life but, not in a scary way, just in sort of a way where I have accepted that it is what it is and I like that it happens the way it does and I actually really enjoy my time to myself as well as the time I share with other people. Oh, Boy, this sure is a long email to ask for a cover-up tattoo.... I wonder how much of my weird that you will accept at this point- I might as well just dive in, I'm already pretty much up to my waist in this shit, lets just sink this fucking ship." *mouths: "WHAT is wrong with me?!"*
"I want something to do with spring and rebirth and I really love Mucha so I was thinking of the drawing with the woman who is spinning and there's flowers and things around her- I am also considering just covering it up with peonies. They are my favorite flower and spring/rebirth related as well so I think it fits in a lot of ways." *Thinks on how much ink this will be and how it will fit in with my thought process on giving up completely forever and allowing his initials to just be there forever because FUCK IT, it was a huge part of my life, a THIRD of my life, maybe it should just live there now.*
"BUT, ya know what, it actually doesn't matter cos really, it was just a tattoo I got that I feel like I super regret now. I'm sure you get that a lot...? I dunno, maybe I'm the first with the bullshit excuse. I really thought I knew what I wanted and I just rushed right in and walked up to this dude and I was like, 'you're the one,' and so within a few months I had his initials tattooed on me and we were 'in love' or something. I miss being twenty... do you? Anyways, can you just redo this whole fucking thing the fuck over cos I am getting a divorce now and I really don't need the reminder. Welp, hope to hear back from you, thanks, -b"
