So after a lifetime of only wanting one specific tattoo, i have decided on a couple other ones that i want, too. The one i always wanted was stars on the bottom of my feet. After talking to a few tattoo artists, they agreed that it would probably need more touching-up than would be worth my while, so i'm letting that one go for now. Nicole and i are working on bunnies that we want on our back/shoulder areas- bunnies that are waving to each other when we stand next to each other. I also want a tiny rat drawing on my hip. I've drawn several little ratties that look kind of like Simon- with the curly tail, of course, and i am now working on one that's juuuuust right. I also think a rat whose tail curls around my finger to make a ring would be cool, too.
Besides tattoos, i am in the mood for more piercing. I feel better about slightly impulsive piercings since you can always take them out if you change your mind. First i decided i wanted my nipples pierced, but Nicole doesn't like that piercing too much. Then she brought up navel piercing, which i like for several reasons, one being that it would help motivate me to keep my gut from getting too huge again. (Damn you, chocolate ice cream!) Mostly, it would just be cute- i sort of forgot how i always wanted it done, and in fact attempted to do it myself once. I got through all but the last layer of skin... gross. Now i'm trying to determine if having a fresh piercing when i go to florida would be too dangerous- water parks and swimming pools and such. Hopefully it would be safe enough just to wear a bandage and clean it often- i've always had pretty good luck when it comes to piercing. Even that home-made failed piercing never got infected. I am impatient to put holes in my body! My options are limited by work dress-code, but there are still plenty of options. Let me tell you what i'm NOT interested in- genital piercing. Ow ow ow... ow... ow. Ow.
So yeah- that's just what i've been thinking about lately.
