SLY once more...
« on: July 06, 2007, 04:03:30 AM »
So, I was sitting with the guy who is going to be my new tattoo artist. We were talking about the designs I want for my arms (long term, multi-stage symmetrical full sleeves). As we were talking I kept rubbing my hand over my hair (growing back, trimming to a #9 guard on my clippers.), and scratching because my psoriasis has started acting up since I grew hair back. I bitched a bit about my hair and the heat and all, and I mentioned that the only reason I have hair right now is that my band mates and a few friends have said "dude, you look better with hair, your single, you'd probably get more attention from girls with hair".  So I decided to try it out again... and let my hair start to grow.

As we're talking we are discussing philosophies on body mod, and I mention that my mom isn't too big on my tattoos and a few folks are hesitant about me going to full sleeves. You know the argument that you'll never get a "professional" type job or have a respectable career if you are heavily tattooed. I told him my philosophy about your body being the ONLY thing in this world that you will ever, truly own. My body is mine and mine alone and nobody is going to tell me what my body should look like. I'll get tattoos if I want tattoos, I'll get pierced if I want to get pierced.

The rest of our conversation went somethign like this:

Adam: You really feel that strongly about owning your body and being responsible for how you look?

Vash: Absolutely dude, totally. My body, my rules, my responsibility, my choices, no one elses.

Adam: So, why do you have hair right now? (insert self satisfied grin)   

Vash:  :o Crap. I'll talk to you later.

I then went straight home, got my Headblade, lotions and creams out of the box and am now happily typing as a SLY man once again.

I gotta tell you, I just feel better this way, it's comfortable and if anybody is put off by it, then I don't need them around anyway.

So, long story short, I am back to bald and ready to rock.

Who knows, at some point I might try growing hair again... maybe this winter, maybe not. But for now I can say I am SLY inside and out and I am loving it once again.

 :D Welcome home, Vash. Missed your wit. Am coming to see that headshaving is not only a choice, but a privilege. We don't need our detractors; they do not have our interests at heart. Professor Melon

Dude, that's the point, YOU really weren't ready to have hair again...never grow it because of peer pressure...it wont fly and we all know it.....

Dude, you look way cool with a bald dome...you will find a girl that digs you bald AND with tatts...would you really want someone that DOESN'T "get it" anyways...you need a COOL chick, don't fool yourself!

Nice to see you rockin' the bald head again bro!

Keep it slick and sly O0
