Oh yeah-
I've been watching a lot of Miami Ink lately, which I swear to god is a great show, and it makes me think about getting my tattoo.
The tattoo of my LJ icon, with "Don't you know that eggs are poison?" underneath it. That may not be the exact quote, but I will find it.
There are some problems though.
1. I am still very afraid of my dad never liking me again. When I had my lip pierced he did not like it. He hated it. He was still nice to me, but I know he hated it. Because he said so. He said it's all he could look at when he saw me. I mean, I'll probably get it somewhere easily covered - I will get to that in my other problems - but I would feel bad not telling him and probably be infinitely paranoid that he would see it.
2. I should probably not use so much money on a tattoo and save it.
3. I'm not sure where I want to put it. I am still thinking along my side, because I want it kind of big and not in a lame place, but then again, sometimes I feel like most places are lame places for tattoos.
4. Oh yeah. And if it's on my side that's supposed to be really painful along your ribs and I have all sorts of ribs.
5. It's weird to think in these terms, but I've seriously thought of waiting until my dad dies so it can be a memorial tattoo. That is such a fucked up way to think. But the picture makes me think of my dad because it is from a print I have that he gave to me. He probably doesn't even remember, but it really reminds me of him. And then I like the vegan connotations. I just love my dad so much. I don't want to intentionally do something that I know will upset him. Petra got one and she lived. But she's not me, and my attitude is different, and I would always feel bad about it in some way.
Man, as I was mentioning before, but I just think and think about a lot of stuff that seems like they should be oh so much easier.
Did I mention I love my dad? Best dad ever. It's making me want to see him right now and all sad and sappy.
