Tattoos and decisions..

[Haunting Paranoia]

Today, my mother comes to me about wanting to get a tattoo for herself. She has been procrastinating getting one for quite awhile now along with a CCW. Anyways, the bottom line is she's allowing me to get me signed off for a tattoo. Any ideas? Or how did you ladies come up with the idea of a tattoo that you now have or want?

Although, I love art and think that some tattoos can be very pretty, I don't have one; nor do I want one, but that is just me. Anyway, why not look online to find one that you like the style of or you can try going off something that you like. Just use your mind to find what you think is beautiful and would like to live with for the rest of your life. ^-^

I was thinking of a Japanese character on my shoulder.

I have one of those, believe it or not. I got the symbol for horse on my left shoulder. It was an impulse decision about 18 months ago xd

Oh the fun stories I could tell about tattoos in Japanese.. Or supposedly in Japanese, anyway...

Just a little hint- Don't get any tattoos in foreign languages... Just trust me on this one. Unless you're fluent in those language/s, just don't.

LOL
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I mean, disasters happen.

I've always wanted a tattoo, but I'm waiting until I'm 18 to get one, kinda for my parents.

But I think tattoos are meant to be meaningful. Something you would look back on in 30, 40 years and still be proud of. Something like a lover's name... not such a good idea, in my eyes.

I agree with Yokies, and how you should get something that's meaningful to you rather than me or any other one of the girls. Though, words/lyrics that mean something important to you might be a good idea, or images that feel important to you.

To me, I'm pretty deadset on getting a tattoo of an anchor on my hand, and a compass rose somewhere. Both of those symbolize how, when I was younger, I was a little lost in life and not sure where I was going, and what I'm going to turn into. That wasn't a very pleasant time for me, and other reasons are involved. I'm still not too sure what my future will hold (oh ho, cliche), but I've been going somewhere. The anchor I envision holding me down to the ground, and the compass rose guiding me.

If that made sense. That was a very brief explanation, and it goes a lot deeper and a lot more personal, but that's an example of how I decide what I want tattooed. (:
I hoped that helped, in some form. (:
