The pretty pictures on my arm are fading already. Is it over so soon?

they started fading before I started bathing.

I've been considering a tattoo for years. But I can't decide on anything that will be pretty to me forever.

Any suggestions?

if images tend to be a passing fancy of yours, then you should get poetry. numbers. equations.

affection for icons and symbols is one thing, but there is a very lasting sort of beauty in logic, words, mathmatics and chemistry.
i've always dreamied of getting a dna strand tattooed down my arm, but i can't settle on a gene.
you could get your own chromosonal karyotype there on the outside of you.
or one of your cells.
a line or two from your favourite novel, an entire poem, or maybe just a pretty word. i love the idea of words like intangible, ephemeral, caught in one moment and inked down forever.

Perhaps my fancies change to easily. Or perhaps I'm just not decisive enough.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
