If You Could Get A Tattoo, What Would It Be?

Sunny Side Updates with The Brain is a Noodle, Week 39!

Would I ever get a tattoo?

I flip-flop on this question. The art and beauty are the main reasons that I would want to get one, but my indecision and the price tag are reasons I haven’t already.

There are honestly so many good ideas of what to tattoo that if I had to sit down and choose one, I’d probably break. I have a hard enough time choosing “the right meal” to have already, and guess what — I have at least three to five square meals a day.

Decisions can be so hard!

Plus, a friend of mine who is working towards a full-sleeve had saved upfor about 12 months (the sum of the tattoos together was something in the $10k to $50k range, CAD). That’s not something I can afford anytime soon.

That’s why, from time to time, on my art twitter, I do tattoo-themed art shares too — feel free to join in if you’d like to!

Which brings me to this week’s survey question + shortform theme!

Shortform Theme of the Week

This week’s shortform theme is: Do you currently have a tattoo? If yes, what are the tattoo(s) and what do they symbolize? What do they mean to you and what’s the story behind getting them? If no, what are the reasons holding you back? (Are you like me, an indecisive budget-thin individual who still likes the art? May or may not be looking for validation here 🤣)

Submit your shortform piece (<150 words) now to share your thoughts! (For prompt-based pieces, you may exceed the 150 word limit, but aim for 150 words if the idea of a longer piece overwhelms you!)

This is just a guideline for inspiration! You may submit shortforms related to other concepts if other ideas come to you! :)

📈 Survey Results from Last Week

Last week, I asked how everyone’s sleep was like.

What is your sleep like?

Sunny Side Updates with TBIN || Week 38

medium.com

Here are the results:

Most respondents sleep 7+ hours, which is pretty relatable, one of you sleep 5 hours on average? Whoever it is, it leaves me wondering whether this is circumstantial (life obligations mean you can only sleep this much) or whether this is your natural state — which some people, though rare, are!

Most surprising were these results — 50% of you told me you were early birds! As someone who grew up surrounded by night owls (which make you 40% of people in this survey), I’d expected something like at least 80% of people to respond this way.

And finally:

While 70% of us wake up feeling rested, 30% of us could do with more rest. Here’s hoping that for these folks, you’re able to get the support that you need to make that a realistic possibility!

Thank you to everyone who hopped in this informal (and definitely not representative of anything in the grand scheme of things) survey, it’s always so fun to see everyone’s responses!

🧠🍜 [1] The Sun Needs the Moon by Tree Langdon ‘Opposing views allow expansion.’

🧠🍜 [2] We Have the Support and Love That We May Not Realize Right Now by Ruchi Thalwal ‘With twinkles in your eyes a smile always adorned your face where you never got sad even when the entire world was against’

🧠🍜 [3] We’re in an ‘e-state’ Frame of Mind by Michael Burg, MD (AKA Medium Michael Burg) ‘Couples wander the street faces downcast, staring at screens. Entire families, out for dinner, barely acknowledge one another’s presence at the table, preferring instead to tweet or text or otherwise disengage from real life, seduced by the power of a 5 by 3 inch modern-day version of the idiot box.’

🧠🍜 [4] Starry-eyed smile by @ashleaamorgan ‘I starry-eye smile.’

🧠🍜 [5] These Are My Wildest Dreams by Nia Simone McLeod ‘I keep a few scattered recollections of my dreams in a journal. Some entries are a page long, capturing vivid details like the colors of the sky. Some are one sentence long. Despite the length, rereading my entries is endlessly fascinating.’

🧠🍜 [6] Ask and You Shall Receive by Barbara Dalton ‘My mediocre existence in this world has taught me one huge lesson: ‘less is more.’ Although financially I have not been rewarded with short-form, my views and readership were.’

🧠🍜 [7] Reflux Dreams by Jupiter Grant ‘This haiku doubles as a Community Service Announcement: don’t eat right before you go to bed. If you do, like me, you will probably be kept awake with acid reflux and very strange dreams!’

🧠🍜 [8] Tetris by Anthony Jackson ‘Beautiful game, easy mechanics Move some blocks over there Rotate and scream because of it Feel the anger warm your blood’

🧠🍜 [9] At the Sea by Chris Mooney-Singh ‘What am I here to prove?’

🧠🍜 [10] When Life Passes You By by Toya Qualls-Barnette ‘It’ll be a mystery to behold When the momentum of real-life unfolds’

🧠🍜 [14] Touch the Cord of Divinity, Before It Is Too Late by Ruchi Thalwal ‘As I board the metro, shining seats with signs glaring Announcements blaring the silent atmosphere Please mind the gap It says again and again’

🧠🍜 [15] War of the Waves by Michael Burg, MD (AKA Medium Michael Burg) ‘Since I live near the coast, beach walks and boogie boarding are part of my entertainment and fitness regimen. As we always say after getting salty,’

🧠🍜 [16] Starry Night by Dr. Fatima Imam ‘Stargazing adventure became unforgettable. When the binoculars became unbudgeable.’

🧠🍜 [17] Living In The Moment by Shivangi Patel ‘Breathing Deep Observing the moment Time Pauses’

🧠🍜 [18] Memory and Longing by Alan Henley ‘As the soft summer breeze from the mountain conveys a faint trace of the pine’

🧠🍜 [19] dichotomous vs. continuous by Michael Hollifield ‘Processes > Theory vs. Practice Education > College vs. School of Hard Knocks Philosophy > Chicken vs. Egg’

🧠🍜 [20] The art we all have done by Las siete y más ‘I know some may differ, but I find making a collage so cathartic, so fun. There is no way to get it wrong. You can do and undo as you like. It is more informal, without pressure, contrary to other types of arts.’

🧠🍜 [21] Who Is She? by Roselyn Violet ‘She’s a creator, gave life to a beautiful little girl. She’s a writer, has written my beautiful future.’

🧠🍜 [22] Variations by K.S. ‘Dashing — from milkweed to milkweed a solitary monarch’

🧠🍜 [25] Two Foods I Cannot Eat by Jennifer Dunne ‘As a kid, I went to a matinee double feature at our local 4th-run “movie palace”. I ordered movie theater popcorn with lots of butter. ‘

🧠🍜 [26] A Circle of Regrets by Thalia Dunn ‘Regrets circle through her mind, mind plays havoc with her thoughts,’

🧠🍜 [27] Dark Chocolate Bliss by B.R. Shenoy ‘“In heaven, chocolate has no calories and is served as the main course.” — Unknown’

🧠🍜 [28] Don’t Try to Become God, Let Nature Go Wild and Breathe On Its Own by Ruchi Thalwal ‘Raindrops trickling on the tin shed Tinkling sound filling my nest Surrounded by mist and clouds The soft grass blades shy above the ground’

🧠🍜 [29] I’m Not a Waste Basket for Your Emails: A Rant by Penofgold ‘My box is full of your notes and those of every person who studied with a pyramid of people taught to persuade people through persevering, blaring emails, to serve wealthy people so you make more money. I admire your hard work, but stop it!’

🧠🍜 [30] The Magic of Chlorophyll by Carolyn Hastings ‘There are literally thousands, if not millions, of different shades of green in nature. The actual number is arbitrary because color is a function of perception, and everyone perceives colours in their own way — think red-green color blindness.’

🧠🍜 [31] Heart Chakra Green by Shivangi Patel ‘All kinds of green That Nature carries Emerald, light, dark and bright’

🧠🍜 [32] Lashings of Spicy Buttery Goodness by TC Hails ‘Sea to Skillet… Naked shrimp (ooh) please adorn your fiery coat of savory spice’
