Since I was a girl, I liked tattoos. I remember that in Venezuela there were some candies that had figures on their wrappers which you could stick to your skin with just water. With my allowance, I bought thousands of these candies just for the figures they had: apples, snakes, butterflies. I remember that my grandmother scolded me once and made me wash with soap because I put a skull on my arm. My grandmother thought it was a bad thing, but to me, the skull seemed awesome.

In fact, I once spent some time in Coche, a paradisiacal island in Venezuela, and there was a place where they did temporary tattoos, and I didn't hesitate: I got a butterfly tattoo on my lower abdomen, on the left side. No lie, the week that tattoo lasted, I felt like the sexiest and boldest girl on the island. It was as if the tattoo made me more carefree, sensual, and feline.

With this confession, anyone might imagine that I have many tattoos, but no. I love tattoos and people who have tattoos, but I don't have a single one. It's inexplicable. It's not that I have any taboo, fear, or belong to any religion that forbids it, I just have never decided to get one.

Since I really like tattoos, it's not surprising that sometimes I find myself looking at some tattoos and playing with the idea of getting one. I like all winged creatures, such as birds, dragonflies, and butterflies. I would like to get a small, minimalist butterfly tattoo in full flight, which represents not only freedom but also transformation and fleeting beauty.

Another tattoo that I like has to do with my zodiac sign: Sagittarius. I like arrows and I like the Centaur: half animal and half man. I like astrology and I feel very identified with all the characteristics of this sign. As I mentioned before, I like simple, small images, made in parts of the body that are not visible or at least not so exposed to others' view.

I like tattoos that tell a story, that when you see them, they remind you of a significant moment or someone. In recent months, after the death of my nephew, I have been drawn to tattoos in the shape of angel wings, feathers, or birds. I don't know if I will ever get a tattoo, as my skin is not as smooth or toned as it used to be, but for now, my skin is a blank canvas that breathes and that still does not know the art of wearing the soul on the outside.
