Tattoos' stories are many and varied. They would include stories of how persons decided to have tattoos; stories of their experiences during the tattooing sessions with their tattoo artists; stories of fulfillment with how proud they were with their tattoos; and likewise stories of how disgusted they were with their tattoos.
Let me tell you two true stories relating to tattoos that are quite far different from the stories I have indicated above, but is very much related to tattoos. These two stories deals about survival and identification.
The first story is about my former high school buddy who is now a lead singer in one of the bands servicing the nightlife entertainment in HongKong. When we accidentally met several days ago and had some bottle of beer together, we related and reminiscent on our happy teen age past and the girlfriends we have then.
In the course of our conversation, I noticed red tattoos on his right arm. It was some form of Chinese characters tattooed vertically from his bicep down to his elbow. Considering that I have this blog about tattoos, I inquired from him the meaning of the Chinese characters and how he got it.
His eyes lighted up at the mention of his tattoos. He said that an aged Chinese tattoo artist from the Chinese mainland was the one who made the tattoos and he could not recall what it actually means only that it would sheild him from harm. At this juncture, he became serious and related to me an incredible story that happened to him in HongKong.
He told me how his band had a spat with a Chinese band that resulted to a free for all. In the course of their scrimmage, his shirt was torn apart revealing his red tattoos . A Chinese band member who was about to slam him with an iron microphone stand from behind froze at seeing his tattoos and immediately signalled his other members to stop fighting and run away from the scene.
To this date he could not yet get the actual meaning of his tattoos. Actually, he was planning to seek out the old Chinese tattoo artist who made his tattoos if ever they can get another contract to play at the entertainment circuits in HongKong.
