Tattoos!!

As you may or may not know, I already have one tattoo. It is a Japanese kanji that means "beloved," which is what my first name (Amy) means! I got it a month or so after my 18th birthday, surprisingly paid for my my parents! Now that I got one I want more! Many more! I am addicted! lol So I am going to throw out some of my recent ideas for more tattoos.. you let me know if they are lame or awesome etc. :)

1) A hand print on my heart. Not a huge one, just something small. This is inspired by the song "For Good" from the musical Wicked. There is a line that says "youll be with me like a hand print on my heart... because I knew you I have been changed for good." And if I got this it would be dedicated to my friends and family who have left an impression on my life.

2) A medium-large sized flower on my shoulder. I am thinking something like a water flower.. one of those that sits on a lilly pad. Ya know what I mean? And there would be no special meaning to this tat... it would just look pretty.

3) I have recently been thinking about getting a tattoo specifically for my imediate family (mom dad and 3 siblings). I am not sure how I would do this... either some image or something that represents them all and my love for them. Or maybe a band that goes around my upper arm.. maybe that has their birth month flower or their birthstones in it.. with the words "Love, Trust, and Forgiveness" as part of the chain that connects them. This is a work in progress.

4) Two of my best friends and I have also talked about getting a tattoo of 3 hearts linking together. Representing our friendship etc. :)

5) I am not sure of other ideas right now.. but I would like to get one on the back of my neck aswell. We shall see.

So there ya have it. What do ya think? Before you ask... yes they hurt a little. But if it is something that means alot to you or that you really want, you will be able to handle an hour of pain for a life time of art. I am hoping to be getting my second tattoo this summer, if I have enough money. That is the biggest problem for me, they are not cheap!
