Get a tattoo

I decided on a tattoo shop.

a bird tattoo. on my upper back something like this but without the cage. although i had thought about getting a cage with a bird outside of it before i even saw this image, but then changed my mind. this pic is the closest i’ve found to what i want.

Once i get my money i will get it done! as i have it designed and i still love how it looks =D and will post it up here =p

I have finally decided that there are two things out there that I want on my body permanently.

I used to S.I. (that means I was a cutter) and I’d really like to get petals tattooed over my scars, because the last time I cut, the fellow I was dating confronted me about it and to prepare for the confrontation, I wrote, “Be Strong, Little Flower,” on my hand. I love the flower imagery and I’d like to get something beautiful to cover up something that reminds me of an ugliness I used to have.

The second tattoo I’d like is hopefully going to be placed under my left breast. It’s a quotation from Le Petit Prince that reads, “L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.” The gist of this line is that one cannot see the important things in life just using her eyes—she has to look with her heart too. I always thought this story was incredibly beautiful.

The design is almost ready and the date is set: my 30th birthday will be the birth of my first tattoo. It will be extra special, because I designed the basics myself and the tattoo artist will work it out. As I loved every piece of his work I’ve seen up till now, I’m confident it will become perfect.

The yin-yang sign with 3 is the sign for BDSM and the snake stands for eternal renewal (if that is proper English).

One day I would like to get a tattoo but i’m alittle scared about it hurting and me not liking it in the future.

I still am Ink free, I don’t know if I really want one, everyone has a tattoo.

Well I have £50, hopefully this is enough!
I am going to go to a place, on wednesday, which I have seen other people have tattoo’s done there!
Hopefully may be done!!

lol, my mums reaction to the news I have booked an appointment to get my tattoo was the biggest cringe ever and ‘Oh nooooo’ – and when I told my dad about the overreaction he claimed he knew nothing about me getting a tattoo (something I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned, do you ever get the feeling no one is LISTENING to you?) He said something about ‘yeah, 10 years ago. I thought that had all blown over’ – as if it were a silly teenage fad. Nope, it’s something I’ve always wanted and I wanted to be sure of the design. See? Sensible. He has since been sitting in a quiet disapproval.

Hellooo, this is the 21st Century, tattoos can be beautiful and meaningful, stylish, and even feminine – they are not reserved only for sailors, soldiers, jailbirds, metal heads, and lads hanging around on estates with menacing looking dogs…

Yeah… also, I’m 24 – I think I’ll do as I please now, thank you!

Let me live!

(The position, not the quote.)

I found it funny that when I asked the 43T community: “would it be a good idea to get a tattoo on my forearm” someone mentioned (in example) how a prospecting employer wouldn’t turn away a veteran with tattoos. I find that funny because I am a veteran, albeit scarcely dedicated to this country.
