I wanted one for many years, but if I was going to get one, it had to be the right one.
So I found a torrent with over 20,000 tattoo images, and I looked at each one many many times.
It's the only one I wanted and it was a personal choice, but it also was the only one that jumped out at me.
Out of 20,000+ images.
There is another though, that I would have inked on...
Chris and I know a girl who had this done, and it was amazing, very subtle and gentle.
Probably the best tattoo I've ever seen.

I honestly dont know, it's art on skin I guess.
I wanted my tattoo to say something about me, so that if you never knew me, you'd understand something about my persona by looking at the tattoo.

intresting, i have never really been one for tats, but i always fancy one, i said that if i ever walked past a tattoo parlour id go on and have something british on my arm or sumit, but i never would make an appointment to do it lol.
but yeah, its not something i would specifcally go out n get sorta thing.. but some peoples tats look good - i like the barcode one.
also some guy was in town a few weeks ago, he sat nxt to us, he had eyes on the back of his head lol.

I've always liked the idea of of a few kanji in a vertical line down one of my shoulder blades, but can never settle on what I want it to say. And even if I did decide, I don't know if I would ever trust someone to translate it properly and not make me get "gaijin twat" or something tatooed onto myself.

One reason why I went with Latin.

its crossed my mind but i just dont find it appealing. if i was going to get some thing it would be up by the top of my arm, probably the rebel starbird or the imperial roundrel from star wars.
i dont dig tatoos on birds. i like au natural myself but i dont knock anyone for having them!
