Ink

I've been thinking about tattoos.

I've wanted one for years, but every time I think I have what I want in my head, it turns out to maybe not be exactly what I want. There are two possibly designs that I think I will probably get at one point, but one of them I'm planning to get on my forearm, and I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for that yet. Maybe at a later date, but perhaps I should start small.

I thought about getting a couple of lines of poetry on one of my shoulder blades for a while. I even booked in to have a chat with an artist. She wasn't sure that she could do what I wanted, and suggested a few other designs that I wasn't too keen on. I mean, I'm not going to try to get an impossible tattoo, but after watching episodes of Miami Ink (thanks to cousin Tim) I'm pretty sure I'm not asking too much. Maybe I need to sit down and chat about it with someone else. That, or move the design around a little.

It's so hard to choose! It's always going to be my downfall, I think, when it comes to this. Because I keep changing my mind, and I'm never sure... And sure is something that you need to be to get a tattoo.

I do want one, though. Maybe I'll re-work my poetry idea for a while. I'm thinking that in-between my shoulder blades might be good...

Maybe I should just get one of these t-shirts...
