Show and Tell
Allee Beatty ‘13 For me, tattoos are a reminder of my past but also a projection of where I want to be. Growing up I remember scraping my knees and getting scars and things like that; to me tattoos are more pictorial representations of what’s happening with me, my mindset or my philosophy about certain things in life. I feel like I carry them with me as parts of my past. I have Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam for a lot of reasons. I found myself meeting a lot of people that led me to do important things in my life, for example my ex-girlfriend, with whom I came out with- I don’t think I could have done it without her… I felt that in looking at the Creation of Adam I’d been touched by some divine force, changing the path of my life... As corny as it sounds I felt like I’d been touched in a special way, like my life sort of opened up before me and I saw this moment just in the perfectly simple gesture of the hands meeting.
