ok, well not yet. but i will be.
i've wanted a tattoo for ages. like seriously, always. the thought of designing something and having it permanently put into my skin sounds amazing. i drew up a bunch and even had friends work on designs for me. of course... my mom has always been completely dead set against tattoos. like i suggest and she laughs. 'sure, you can get a tattoo when you move out.' see, denagh wanted to help me get one, but it turns out it would mean forging a birth certificate and everything, and that could get messy. so i kind of gave up for a while.
but!!! i was just randomly searching images, like la la la scribble sketch doodle, and she was all, 'you really want one, huh?' only forever. then she said she'd need to mull it over. woot woot! you know what that means? she's actually considering letting me get one!
the problem is now idk what to get. i was going to get something musical, like notes or a treble clef when i was in the midst of planning it all out months ago... but sadly, music has kind of taken backseat to other things. i still love it, of course, but i'm not so sure about it playing a major role in my tattoo anymore.
i know where i want it. i want it to run along my right hip, along the bone or in the smooth stretched skin right next to it. it's not super obvious but i'll see it's there. i think i'll start with just the one hip, i'm actually not very big on symmetry. i want it to be very simplistic, almost tribal but with a meaning to go along with it. there is a quote in the bible i want it to represent, i think.
"These three things remain: Faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love."
stars make me think of hope. wings or the cross or thorns make me think of faith. and hearts or roses make me think of love. so i'm trying to figure something out that'll represent all three. it's tricky. hmmm.
i was also considering wings on my ankles. to commemorate my passion for running.
so yea... any suggestions?
