Headspace Tattoos (How Do?)
i've been struggling a bit lately with the fact that there are a lot of tattoos i want--and i mean a LOT--that it just wouldn't be reasonable to get on the body.
it's stuff like lyrics that are only significant to me, or elaborate art pieces, and generally just stuff that we would never reach a consensus of. i'm already disproportionately involved in our tattoos (i did three of them myself, and the fourth is one that "belongs" mostly to me), so getting more tattoos that just represent myself is pushing it. but i do really, really want those tattoos.
so, anyway, it just occurred to me that i could get them... but in headspace. i haven’t tried, but i’m sure i could manage it.
our headspace isn’t real in any sense of the word—it’s not real to us, it’s not substantial in our life, we barely ever use it in any way and we don’t really experience things in it. our appearances in it are mostly based on our assumptions—i have brown eyes in headspace because i know i have brown eyes. (this is also why, for non-intives, our appearances strongly resemble the body—we have automatic knowledge of what our body looks like and generally see it as ours.)
it probably won’t be enough to fulfill my desire to properly get the tattoos, and i don't even really expect it to stick, but it's worth a shot!
(also, any tips or ideas from headspace tattoo-havers are welcome--i'm especially curious on how they work in other headspaces!)
