你想读我的日记吗？

But I think this is good. :p 自从三年前的那个生日遇见了他之后；从两年前的那个生日，[gogo.tattoo](http://gogo.tattoo)域名被用作我的个人纹身档案以来；自从我们发现了这样的纹身档案能够给纹身师们带来的的益处，并在一年前的那个生日正式开始了[gogo.tattoo](http://gogo.tattoo)项目开始以来，我们带着让纹身的世界变得更好的愿望共同成长，时间飞逝，转眼就变成了曾经自己口中的“大人们”。 We meet each other around my birthday 3 years ago. And the birthday after that, [gogo.tattoo](http://gogo.tattoo) have been made into my personal tattoo profile by him. Last year on my birthday, [Alpha version](https://github.com/gogotattoo/gogo.tattoo/commit/61d0189f69726ed4af9897c0c00982274c1f590e) web page was launched! After that, we realized that it is important to have a trustful profiles for other artists too, and with the desire of bettering the tattoo world, we are becoming better and better together, and growing up together too. Now, I am definately one of the "grown-ups". 我们都曾经洋溢这青春荷尔蒙，捧着手机也享受着每一种“奶头乐”，过生日最期望的就是微信上被朋友们蹲守着，在整点被送达的好多祝福，和有可能顺带被发来的微信红包，截图，发送到微信朋友圈。是啊，自从有了社交网络之后，更是发现身边几乎每天都有人在过生日，各种各样的生日派对，朋友聚餐轰趴，酒吧KTV游戏和宿醉，游艇派对别墅派对还有聘请派对策划，热闹非凡。 Most of the kids from my era, who grew up in Shanghai culture, had "the new generation youthful hormones", which have the behaviours of holding cell phones most of the times and enjoying every kinds of "tittytainments". The most anticipated birthday wishes are being poked on Wechat; receiving a lot of blessings by friends at the midnight 0:00am of the birthday, and possibly geting a red pocket money from them too. Then take a screen shoot, post on Wechat moment... Since social networks have been established, we can find a variety of birthday parties happening everyday around us: friends dinner parties, bar KTV games and hangovers, yacht or villa parties or just planned paid parties, bustling and amazing. 这样的生日形式常常出现在校园循环生态和拜金时代。90年代以来，中国成熟的应试教育为我们这代人创造了一个畸形青春的封闭校园生态。千千万万罗密欧与朱丽叶在九年义务教育里被活生生地关在一起，只许天天向上，不许陌陌调琴。在这个生态里最重要的，是以记忆力和逻辑判断为主的优胜劣汰，美育、创造力和常识的培养稍有欠缺。模仿媒体上看似华丽的举动，也许在他们的印象里是好主意。 Such forms of birthdays often appear in the campus cycle ecology and the money worshiping era. Since the 1990s, the mature examination-oriented education in China has created a closed campus ecology with a deformed youth for our generation. Thousands of Romeos and Julietas have been kept alive in the nine-year compulsory education. The most important thing in this ecology is the survival of the fittest based on memory and logical judgment. There is a slight lack of cultivation of aesthetic education, creativity and common sense. Copying the actions of what looks fancy on the media sounds like a good idea. 这样的教育造就了一群聪明的小孩。但作为一个纹身师，常有机会深入接触各种各样的人，对于这群聪明的小孩，也许有时也只能觉得他们too young too naive。很多学生憧憬着高档写字楼，愿望能努力学习，享受在办公室吹冷气喝咖啡的惬意；却看不见写字楼内的艰辛，也许在办公室吹冷气却忙的喝不了一口热咖啡。很多学生憧憬旅行出差，坐着头等舱去全国各地甚至国外出差；却看不到大人们凌晨坐飞机也会疲惫，也许只能在霉味四溢的仓库里与各种凭证票据度过出差时光。 This kind of education has created a group of clever children. However, as a tattoo artist, there is often a chance to get in touch with all kinds of people. For some of these "clever children", you may sometimes feel that they really can be described as "too young, too naive". Many students are looking forward to work in fancy office buildings, hoping to study hard and to enjoy the comforts of drinking coffee in the cold air-coning environment; but they cannot see the real hardships of an office worker, so, indeed, they might not be able to drink that hot coffee in the office. Many students look forward to traveling for business, sitting in the first class to travel across the country or even abroad; but they can not see how these grown-ups are exhausted in the early morning flights; maybe after they get abroad, can only stay in the musty warehouses with a pile of vouchers and documents. 在这样的艰辛中，很多大人在不知不觉中往家里带来了各种各样的医院开来的瓶瓶罐罐，第二天继续去高档写字楼，吹着冷气喝着半热不冷的咖啡。 In such hard times, many people bring a variety of bottles and jars from the hospital, and the next day morning they continue to the high-grade office buildings, air-conditioned, drinking half-hot, but not yet cold, coffee. 少年情绪用文字渲染不成，但对于被许诺于“好好学习就可以得到的那种高级生活”的向往，用金钱来渲染则恰恰合适。爸爸妈妈们在办公室里喝着冷咖啡，用金钱帮助孩子们搭建仪式感。“那，生日派对啊，媒体上的心灵鸡汤说，为了孩子能够习惯好生活，向往好生活，所以要富养孩子吧？” Dads and moms want their children to have "a good life", drinking cold coffee in the office and spending the salary to help children build rituals. "Well, birthday party, these chicken soup articles in the media say that in order for children to get used to a good life and to want to live a good life, they should live in fancy ways, right?" 而也许爸爸妈妈们的父母那一代，少有生日概念，只当无数个寻常日子一样过。直到老了，受了我们小辈的怂恿，也才别别扭扭地被过起生日来。在我的记忆中，爷爷在世时过的生日，也无非吃碗长寿面那样简单。 Grandfathers and grandmothers perhaps have rare concept of birthdays: it's just a day as normal as days before. After they have grandchildren, by the encouragement of our generation, and try to celebrate their birthdays. In my memory, my grandfather's birthdays were always nothing more than a simple bowl of longevity noodles. https://steemitimages.com/DQmQakBVzLYxGgavS4o3qi71BMK7nafwRARD1V99FhD4H5a/Screen%20Shot%202017-11-26%20at%2012.09.24%20PM.png
17岁时我还不愿去面对现实，每天关注的只有自己生活圈子里的那点事。那年的生日，虽然隐约感到年龄的更改将会让自己面临巨大变化，但因有着生活圈子的庇护，和暂时落脚处，已经可以继续生存，所以不愿意去自寻烦恼。那时的我大概从没想过5年后自己的处境，当然也不会想到23岁生日之后会写下这些文字在Steemit这个优质文章平台上。 At the age of 17, I still did not want to face the reality, every day only concerned about the things in my life circle. That year's birthday, though vaguely, felt that the change of age would make a huge difference to myself, I was reluctant to find troubles because of that, at least I've already had temporary settlement. At that time, I probably never thought about how myself will be five years later, and certainly I did not expect to write these words after 23rd birthday on Steemit - this super good content platform.

23岁时我看到了一个巨大的现实，我们的圈子变得越来越大，原来被人唾弃害怕的行业变成了文化里的主流。今年的生日，虽然已经感到在成年人的世界里，一个肚子里只有半瓶墨水的纹身师有多力不从心，任何互动情感都令我感到胆怯。但是纹身行业者真的开始被大家给予期盼和尊敬，从[gogo.tattoo](http://gogo.tattoo/)和[yoyow](https://yoyow.org/)在周年庆上的签约已经可以看见纹身的重要性。但我却觉得不够，因为纹身师们需要被真正称为值得尊敬，无论是在技艺还是在人格，而我还差大半瓶墨水在肚子里。今年的我很感激17岁的我在坚持纹身的道路上从未停步。 At the age of 23, I saw a gigantic reality that our circle became bigger and bigger. Tattoo industries was originally scared of being abandoned, now it almost became mainstream in culture. This birthday, although I have felt it is hard being a tattoo artist who just have a half bottle of ink in the stomach of the adult world and I felt so hard to show the timidity of interactive emotions in such a big group of cool people, the signature ceremony between [gogo.tattoo](http://gogo.tattoo/) and [yoyow](https://yoyow.org/) on this anniversary proved that the tattoo industry really started to be looked forward by most of the people, and tattoo industry workers are respected by smarter people. I am very grateful that the 17-year-old gogo have never stopped tattooing.

世界上最无效的努力，就是对年轻人掏心掏肺讲道理。事实上我在此时此刻才开始觉得错过，当开始学习纹身时是不会有过多想法的。当青春就在我手上时，我却认为它是静止的，根本没有规划，也没有着急去做什么，而是陷入日常轨迹，拘泥于眼前苟且，纹身，纹身，和纹身。 The most ineffective effort in the world is to justify young people. In fact, I just started to feel missed at this moment, the real education, the understanding of survival in the society... There was not much thought when I decided to study tattoos. That time the youth was in my hands, I thought it was going to stay still, so I never had plan; there was no need to rush to do anything, but just diving into daily tracks, rigidly adhering to the immediate: just tattoos, tattoos, and tattoos. 真正年轻的人根本不在乎远方，只想做好手上的事。 The real young people simply do not care about the future. They just want to do what is in the hands.

在这个跨过23岁难忘的夜里，我看着朋友圈照片中17岁的自己，第二天起床后要面对的是另一团人生问题，就像置换反应，新的问题慢慢替换旧的问题，成年人的问题慢慢替换孩子气的问题。 In this unforgettable night of me turning 23 years old, I looked at the 17-year-old myself. Nothing will be special in my 23, I thought, so I simply had to face a next life problem. It was just like a replacement reaction. The new problem slowly replaced the old problem, the grown-up problems slowly replaced the childishness problems.

在这个跨过23岁记忆犹新的晚上，非常高兴可以与[@gogo.tattoo](http://steemit.com/@gogo.tattoo)这位指引我成长的人一起切开有[gogo.tattoo](http://gogo.tattoo) logo的gopher蛋糕。他那时告诉我，科技和艺术是人工智能难以取代的职业。他是个很酷的科技专家，我是个亚文化艺术的执行者，虽然我们两人出身在不同的文化中，但都在一个传统等级社会里上爬。一个外表叛逆，一个外表孝顺，一个观察客人，一个创造价值，一个大众化，一个精英化。我有黑暗出世的一面，他有光亮超俗的一面。很高兴在最弹性化的年纪遇见他，被改造成一个更好的人。 On this lovely evening at the age of 23, I'm very happy to have [@gogo.tattoo](http://steemit.com/@gogo.tattoo) along with me, a man who guided me to become grown-up. Proud to cut [gogo.tattoo](http://gogo.tattoo) logo gogopher cake together. He told me that technology and the arts are hard-to-replace occupations in the artificial intelligence era. He is a cool technology expert. I am a performer of subculture. Although both of us were born in different cultures, but we both trying to climb in a traditional hierarchical society. I have rebellious appearance, he has a appearance of filial piety; I can observe clients, he can create values; I can hide in the crowd, he can't, he is one of a kind. I have the dark side of the nature, he has a bright and vulgar side of the earth. Glad to meet him at the most bendable age and be transformed into a better person.
