I have posted about 2-3 times about ideas for tattoos I want. Since I am turning 18 in a tad less than 4 months, I am getting excited to finally get my first one.
Which, as most people close to me know, is going to be a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson "" on my the inside of my right forearm. I haven't decided the font of it yet, or the exact style.
But the rest of the tattoos I am thinking of getting, are likely to be debated for a long time before I get them.
Here is that list:
An astrological tattoo. I was thinking about getting something scorpio-esque. I don't know where, it will probably be somewhere not very visible to me. I don't know whether I want the symbol of the zodiac, the constellation or the actual scorpion. It will probably by on my hip or back somewhere.
A hummingbird under my left pointer finger.
I want some form of band-like tattoo around my arm, near my elbow, whether it is above or below I don't know yet. I want it to either be very modern and just a straight line, or lacey.
I was thinking about getting a small fern on one of my feet or ankles. It represents strength and endurance, and since I strength train and run endurance, I think it would be fitting.
I want a map of the world... somewhere. It was going to be on my arm, then I decided not to. Now I am thinking around my ankle. Maybe I'll put North and South America along with iceland/greenland etc, on my left leg and the rest (europe, asia australia) on my right. Or just around one of my ankles.
I want something swirly around my ankle. I was thinking about just getting something like a ribbon or something decorative, but I also thought I could get a really long quote in small print that looks like a line going around my ankle, until you look closer.
I'm starting to see a problem with my ankles. They are filling up quickly.
I am thinking about getting a second quote (undecided) on my other arm. I want something on my left forearm as well, but I don't know what, yet.
Most of my tattoos are pretty timeless, or at least them seem as so. Except for one I want. Lately I've wanted a tattoo to do with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I don't know what. I was thinking about getting their names somewhere, but maybe just their initials. If I do get something to do with them it will probably be somewhere on my feet, or my toes, where I don't look too often, but when I do look, I am reminded of them.
I am still considering getting a maple seed somewhere on my hand, representing my father.
Later in life, I might give in and get a giant tattoo along the left side of my body. Something tribal or lacey.
Most of my tattoos will be around my ankles/feet or my arms/wrists/hands. I don't really want a tattoo I can't see, or easily read, especially if it is meaningful and not decorative.
A lot of times I say things I want to do and I don't follow through, but I am definitely getting that quote tattoo, or perhaps the hummingbird tattoo, by the end of November, if not on my actual birthday (October 28th).
I think I like tattoos so much because they are so artistic. It's like clothes you can wear all of the time. I love symbols and symbolism, and I hope to get a bunch of random little symbols all over the place.
I am excited.
Do you have any tattoos you want to get or that you have? Or is there a specific tattoo you really want but you are sort of chickening out on?
