Let's plan our next tattoos!

[sunny]

So the other day, in another thread, I posted this:

My little cousin is getting a fucking DREAM CATCHER on her shoulder next week. She's getting it in the colours of the fucking MEDICINE WHEEL; red, white, black and yellow. Her next tattoo, she says, is going to be an inukshuk. She doesn't have the first clue as to the meanings of any of these things in First Nations culture, she just thinks they look cool. This is Canada's version of "tribal". *eyerolls*

I told her an inukshuk with moss on it with flowery vines growing up it could be a really cool tattoo but she's a cunt and ignored me.

But her getting a tattoo made me think about what I'd get next. I've always wanted my signature sun (think a stick person sun with an "x" in the middle: 1/2) in the spot between my right thumb and index finger, exactly where a pen would rest if I were writing, but I'm told that would be a bad place to tattoo because the skin there wears down faster or something, so instead, I think I would get it on my wrist (underside). Getting a tattoo on my wrist would be a massive deal for me because I have a hard time dealing with veins. What I can't decide though, is if I should just do it in black or in colour. If I'm to do it in colour, I would want the colours of my site, pink and light aqua. So really, I suppose I should do it in colour and then later if I don't like it or it fades, I could go over it in black right?

I'm not totally sold on my inner wrist, but I want it somewhere I can see it and NOT on my back (I already have a tattoo there that I think is flawless and I wouldn't wanna "much up the canvas" by adding something else).





So where do you guys think would be a good place to get it? And what tattoos do you want in the future?

I've always wanted forearm tattoos but I'm so picky about the art I would want.

My next tattoo is going to be the connector for my back pieces. I'm anxious to get them connected because I feel they look disjointed as is. I've got the idea in my head but my artist is going to draw it out for me so we can make sure it all lines up and connects the way we want it to. Think something along the lines of the rabbit hole next to a garden.

i have a sunspot/birthmark on my upper left arm in the shape of a butterfly.. but it looks like a butterfly squished by a turd so i want to get a blue butterfly stamped on top. (if i'm gonna have a butterfly on my flesh for all my life i might as well have a cool one i like, right?) maybe i'll just settle for a more defined silhouette in the same shade as it currently is? maybe not. i've wanted this for years so it's just a matter of deciding for sure which i like best.

i have another birthmark that kinda looks like a leopard spot on my inner left knee* and i've wanted to get a patch of leopard spots. (funny, i just told Lux about this.)
(* above the "w" on the camwhores.com watermark.)

i don't know just what yet but i totally want something on my solar-plexus. i mean, i have ideas, but i am currently undecided.

i want this on my calf (length wise?) but i am holding off not only cause i'm too broke to get any of the stuff above but i also think i might find a better place for it later on.. (maybe not? i jut know i really want it.)

i've had other ideas and inspirations but like i had said before about the whole not being able to afford it, i'm also in no hurry cause i think i'mma be really picky about what artist i will end up liking within my area and there's always the hesitation that i might grow to hate it one day. i'd really like to know i like what i have on my flesh for the rest of my life. (i'm pretty sure i'll never be able to afford laser removal if ever i can afford the tattoo to begin with.)
that's my wishlist for now. *shrug*

I really love this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3qv2dSXQXk

I'd like to commission Johnen Vasquez to do two images of gir, framed, one with his dog suit, one without, and the one in the dog suit to have a grey background with pink piggies, and the one where he's a robot to have purple in the background with cupcakes.

@Quimm and Belinda those sound like awesome tattoo ideas!

Quimm I would definitely go for it. The idea of turning birthmarks into beautiful pieces of work sounds really awesome.

Quimm, what does that thing mean? (Equation?)

My next tattoo is a remembrance tat. It'll be a large carnation, fully blossomed with incredible teeny detailing. I found something my gram (and best friend, really) wrote down at some point. (She wrote random quotes she heard everywhere.) Life has to end, love doesn't. That'll circle the carnation. I think it'll turn out well, for what it is. Carnation was her birth flower, I'll make it garnet for her birthstone and have her handwriting forever inked on me.

Makes me smile just to think about it.
