A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still “more”. I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.

Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?

    I’ve always found tattoos a bit strange. Not that they bother me in any way - quite the contrary - I just could never really understand why someone would get a name, a quote, a picture, or whatever permanently inked on their skin.

      For decoration. I like them, and also like scars - bodies move through time and I like when our lives mark them, I guess.

        Hey why don’t you wash your hands after going to the bathroom?

          ? I do. Only at home, it’s sometimes before not after. Because hands are considerably more dirty than pussy. So if battling any hint of UTI, washing them before is recommended.

      I got mine to be a reminder. Some things you don’t want to take for granted, and it’s nice to remember that.

      You could also get one as a sort of badge of honor. Maybe you achieved a life milestone, or beat the odds and survived in someway.

      There’s also a thought that you can’t take your body with you, so you might as well have some fun with it while you can. Tattoos can give you a way to express yourself, not unlike fashion, haircuts or anything else. Everything adds to someone’s persona.

      They also make for great conversation starters!

      So, I’m not into words or images from pop culture etc. (that’s just my taste, I think people should get what they like regardless) but I have three larger pieces on me. All three are original artwork by the artist, I gave them an idea of the general imagery/vibe I was going for and then handed them the reins. Also chose someone who’s dominant art style correlated with the style I wanted. I love art and it makes me happy to carry beautiful and original artwork with me wherever I go.
