Certain side of your body

Post by thislittlebirdie »

Ok so i have this thing where i have to equal out my body , like tattoos and piercing, this isnt a very good description but i don't know how else to say it

like i have my body and then i got my nose pierced and i got it on my right hand side. but i still feel i need to equal out my body by getting tattoo on my right side.

I've just noticed that my jewellery is symmetrical; 2 rings on each hand, a bangle, a watch, earrings...I like symmetry in my house too...Balance

I like to have things evened out, it drives me around the bend that one of my ears sticks out more than the other... few people ever notice it, but it drives me around the bend... I have a tattoo on my left wrist and a tattoo on the right side of my back... Next tattoo is going to be on the left side on my ribs, then another on my right wrist... then on both hips... Only one I got which hasn't pulsed me to get another was one I had in the middle of the back of my neck... same with my tongue bar...

I would love a scaffold bar in my ear.. but only in my right ... my left is the slightly bigger ear which I don't want to draw attention to...

And now I sound crazy...

This makes so much sense to me though! but i feel my right side needs more stuff on it to eqwual it to my left which would make a lot more sense if i was left handed in sure!

Could it be an OCD kind of thing. I have impulses because of my ADHD and obsessions too and I have to have things equal, usually in fours (wtf? lol) else they dont seem right to me and I will keep thinkinga bout things if they aren't equal.

I dont do it with my tattoos though, but I have a bar through the middle of my lip and then one each side so it looks symetrical, lol. I do my own tattoos now and dont have room to even them all out. Although now it's mentioned......... :-"

No, dont get me started. Saying that I do want to fill in all my spare skin with little things here and there and shading or colouring behind to make it all covered on my arms and legs. Thing is, doing my own tattoos I cant reach alot of myself, lol.
