I had written the last entry a day or two before, when my goal was “get a tattoo”. And the I found this goal. The wording suits me better!

So this is what I wrote on roslyn43 ’s research:
Of course,
I can only speak for myself and speculate a little.
I want to get one that has some spiritual meaning for me. It’s not that I want to get a tattoo, but that there’s a particular drawing that represents something spiritual to me, which I obsess about. (I’m not saying religious because I think there’s a difference, but I don’t even want to get into that) It would also be a reminder that my life and my outlook have changed in many ways. Of course, I wonder a lot about getting something so permanent.
From the entries I read here, I see many people want to get one also as a reminder/symbol of a phase or moment or of an accomplishment.
But consider this: comparatively speaking, getting a tattoo requires much less money and/or effort than most other popular goals here (stop procrastinating, travel, getting teeth fixed or exercising), yet many people put the tattoo on the list and there it stays (me included)... I think that’s true especially when someone wants a tattoo but has not even an idea of what it should be… So maybe most of us are in fact afraid of living with that decision forever.
It’s the other way round: I never tought of getting a tattoo until I became obsessed (in a good way) with a celtic design with a trinity knot in the middle, more complex than just the knot. That was three years ago. But I worry about hepatitis, about really getting the drawing I want, about where would I want it (I think on my back, behind my left shoulder).
