I've been debating over tattoos lately. I've always wanted one. My mom told me when I was 12 that if I wanted one, I could get one. I never decided on anything, thankfully. I was a pretty smart kid and realized that it's be something that was going to be on my body forever. But I've put it off and put it off, not knowing WHAT I wanted for one.

That's because I was thinking of PICTURES to put on my body. Now, I'd like something like that, but I'm thinking my first will be of some script. A good quote or something. Words define me more than images, which is strange, considering I actually work the other way around.

So, some brainstorming...

I'm blaming the sixth one on a certian someone. But it's short and to the point. And something I'm quite adamant about. But I'm not terribly likely to get a tattoo of something that someone already has. I don't want, like, a whole block of script on me, I'd be very picky about what'd I'd want that big, anyhow. If I was going to get a large block of text, it'd probably be one of my mom's poems or one of my favorite quotes. Like the Stephen King friends quote from It or the love quote from The Sandman.

I'll probably add more as I find them or think of them...

EDIT: Though, one of the few things I've been seriously considering getting tattooed is the Toreador clan symbol from Vampire the Masquerade. Partially because that's what my first White Wolf character was, and she was based off of me. And partially because it's a rose. Which is my last name. And it's simple and pretty.

EDIT: I've also been considering a star or a heart on my hip or something. I don't think I want anything huge. Just little cute things. And no tramp stamps.
