In Japan you were weird if you didn't watch DragonBall Z or collect the cards. We would go to the stores and put our money in the machines and buy the cards one at a time and then battle other people at recess for their cards. We would flip our cards against theirs and whoever's card landed face up would take the other person's card. A lot of fights started on the playground because of that game. When I moved to America after living in Japan I was the weird kid that didn't know anything about "real TV" or American restaurants. I thought Subway, the sandwhich place, was an actual subway station that you would go to and buy sandwhiches. I was so confused when we went to an actual building.

As far as my more serious tattoos. I wanted to get stuff that told people about me. My back piece is going to be a story of my past and the hard times that I have gone through, and that is why I chose to put it on my back, because even though it is a part of me, it is behind me, but will always be there. It's kind of a hard thing for me to explain, but it makes sense in my head.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read about my tattoos and thanks for hosting the contest. It was fun telling my story.
