I'm bored at work and so I'm doing what I always do when I'm bored... Think about possible tattoos.
For a while now I've been wanting to get some sort of piece to honor my grammy and everything she has done for me. She loves doves, the color yellow, sea shells, jazz music (as well as singing) and the sun the moon and the stars. So I'm thinking it would be very cool to get yellow roses on the top of each shoulder and then have doves swooping down underneath my collar bone. In terms of a background or more central element I'm thinking that on one side of my chest the background should start out with a sun (bright oranges, blues etc.), then transition to stars in the middle (fusing the bright day sky with night) and a moon on the opposite side (dark, deep, pure blues). The more and more I think about this idea the more I love it. So what's the problem? I don't think I should get a chest piece just yet... I'm young and I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life, especially in terms of a career. But I really feel like this piece is starting to become a part of me and if I can't get a job because of it... is it really a job that would be good for me? Plus there's always the issue of money.
Another issue... I do want to get my calves tattooed soon, but I can't figure out what sort of shapes/symbols/images would fit my personality and look good there. There's always flowers... or Ivy, which I really like... but I want something more complex... I know I want a cat eventually so maybe that could go there with some ivy or something... and I've always liked the idea of doing a opposite sort of thing on my calves... good on one, evil on the other, light and dark. Again, doing both at once is going to be expensive... so maybe I could plan on doing both like that and then just get one this summer before I leave if curtiss has time. My creativity is shot... any ideas/suggestions are most appreciated.
Oh yeah, Ryan, I don't want to hear it. I already know what your suggestion/idea would be. I know you mean well, but your plight is in vain. :) I love you anyways.
