TAT gone wrong - Tat salió mal (ENG-ESP)

I was still a child when I saw what looked like a burn on my neighbour's arm. The site of the burn looked like it had a drawing underneath. I couldn't quite place it especially seeing that the burn marks were patterned forming the shape of a heart with a cupid arrow. I stared at the burns for a while and all I could think of in my naive mind was how much pain my neighbour must be going through.

I couldn't ask him because he's grown up and I was a child. I didn't want my concerns to give off the impression of me being insolent. Afterall what concerns a child with the mark (burn) on an adult's arm? This is basically the mentality of the people where I come from. The inquisitive nature in children was greatly discouraged. So, I respected myself and kept shut.

I harboured the thought of my neighbour's burn till my teen years. Then one day, I was coming back from school with my classmates when one suggested that we pass the bush path to pick up some Cashews since it was the season. Without hesitation, I joined them and I picked up a lot of Cashews.

On getting home, I washed some and kept them in the refrigerator for my mother as it was her favourite. I also shared with my siblings and then took the remaining ones to go share with my friends. When we got done munching, the Cashew experts started telling us how we could draw a tattoo with the Cashew seeds.

According to these self acclaimed Cashew experts, all we needed to do was to scrape the Cashew seeds on the hard floor and once its hot, we'd start drawing with it. One of us was already scraping the Cashew seed and made attempts to draw on another who bluntly refused. Not even the Cashew experts allowed their body to be used to experiment their own theory. I don't know if it was the fear of being harmed by the practice or the fear of our parents.

Since no one was going to be the Guinea pig, the seeds were trashed and we all retired to our various houses. On getting home, I couldn't seem to shake off the whole tattoo theory with Cashew seeds. At least I was a teenager at the time and I was permitted to ask certain questions to quench my curiosity.

I waited until relaxation time, which was after our family dinner. I first confirmed if my mother was in a good mood and she certainly was. I then checked my friend's Cashew seed and tattoo theory with her. I didn't even land with my question and my mother was already screaming and pulling out my arms to check for tattoo marks. Well, thank God that I had none because it saved the situation.

After my mother confirmed that I had no tattoo nor marks, she told me that God saved me because the liquid from the Cashew seed is like acid. It was at that moment that my mom started telling me how ugly a tattoo could get if not done by professionals. It was still then that the questions which I had harboured as a child concerning my neighbour was answered . According to my mom, my neighbour's tattoo which turned to burns was drawn with a Cashew seed. Not only that, but he got lucky as the burns turned into a big injury that almost got him amputated.

Todavía era un niño cuando vi lo que parecía una quemadura en el brazo de mi vecino. Parecía que el sitio de la quemadura tenía un dibujo debajo. No pude colocarlo especialmente al ver que las marcas de quemaduras estaban estampadas formando la forma de un corazón con una flecha de Cupido. Miré las quemaduras por un tiempo y todo lo que podía pensar en mi mente ingenua era cuánto dolor debe estar mi vecino.

No pude preguntarle porque ha crecido y yo era un niño. No quería que mis preocupaciones emitieran la impresión de que yo fuera insolente. Después de todo, ¿qué se refiere a un niño con la marca (quemadura) en el brazo de un adulto? Esta es básicamente la mentalidad de las personas de donde vengo. La naturaleza inquisitiva en los niños fue muy desanimada. Entonces, me respeté y me mantuve cerrado.

i albergó la idea de la quemadura de mi vecino hasta mi adolescencia. Entonces, un día, regresaba de la escuela con mis compañeros de clase cuando uno sugirió que pasáramos el camino de Bush para recoger algunos anacardos ya que era la temporada. Sin dudarlo, me uní a ellos y recogí muchos anacardos.

Al llegar a casa, los lavé y los guardé en el refrigerador para mi madre, ya que era su favorita. También compartí con mis hermanos y luego tomé los restantes para compartir con mis amigos. Cuando terminamos de comer, los expertos en anacardos comenzaron a decirnos cómo podríamos hacer un tatuaje con las semillas de anacardos.

Según estos expertos en anacardos aclamados, todo lo que teníamos que hacer era raspar las semillas de anacardos en el piso duro y una vez que estaba caliente, comenzaríamos a dibujar con él. Uno de nosotros ya estaba raspando la semilla de anacardo e hizo intentos de recurrir a otro que se negó sin rodeos. Ni siquiera los expertos en anacardo permitieron que su cuerpo se utilizara para experimentar su propia teoría. No sé si fue el miedo a ser dañado por la práctica o el miedo a nuestro Padres.

Nadie iba a ser el conejillo de indias, las semillas estaban destrozadas y todos nos retiramos a nuestras diversas casas. Al llegar a casa, parece que no pude sacudir toda la teoría del tatuaje con semillas de anacardos. Al menos era un adolescente en ese momento y me permitieron hacer ciertas preguntas para apagar mi curiosidad.

Esperé hasta el tiempo de relajación, que fue después de nuestra cena familiar. Primero confirmé si mi madre estaba de buen humor y ciertamente lo estaba. Luego revisé la teoría de la semilla y el tatuaje de anacardos de mi amiga con ella. Ni siquiera aterricé con mi pregunta y mi madre ya estaba gritando y sacando mis brazos para verificar las marcas de tatuajes. Bueno, gracias a Dios que no tenía ninguno porque salvó la situación.

Después de que mi madre confirmó que no tenía tatuajes ni marcas, ella me dijo que Dios me salvó porque el líquido de la semilla de anacardo es como el ácido. Fue en ese momento que mi madre comenzó a decirme cuán feo podría ser un tatuaje si los profesionales no lo hacen. Todavía era entonces cuando se respondieron las preguntas que había albergado cuando era niño con respecto a mi vecino. Según mi madre, el tatuaje de mi vecino que se convirtió en Burns fue dibujado con una semilla de anacardos. No solo eso, sino que tuvo suerte cuando los Burns se convirtieron en una gran lesión que casi lo amputó.

Thank you 🙂

Children are curious by nature, any strange mark will attract their attention.

As for the teenage adventure and interesting about the seeds, I'm glad nothing happened to regret. They would most likely burn their skin and leave them with an ugly scar. 😁 @bipolar95

Really ugly 😂

What a danger not to know that! Fortunately, none of them volunteered for the experiment, as it would have been a very unfortunate thing indeed.
It was not really with ink, but if the procedure had been done, it could have ended in disaster.
Thank you for participating in the initiative.
